China News Service, Beijing, October 16 (Reporter Huang Yuqin and Li Jingze) The Central People’s Congress Working Conference was held in Beijing from October 13 to 14. first.

　　As China's fundamental political system, the People's Congress system provides important institutional guarantees for China's economic development and social stability.

In the eyes of the outside world, “system” is also the entry point for observing this high-level meeting. From emphasizing the importance of the system to improving the system, to explaining the logic of the system, the first working conference of the National People’s Congress has provided an opportunity for the outside world to understand the development of China’s system. A bunch of keys".

　　Institutional importance

　　Since the first meeting of the First National People's Congress in 1954, the system of people's congresses has gone through more than 60 years.

At the Central People's Congress work meeting, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, recalled history and pointed out that the system of the People's Congress has provided important institutional guarantees for the party leading the people to create miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability.

　　This is true.

From the birth of the people’s congress system to the reform and opening up, the organization and discussion procedures of the people’s congress have gradually become standardized and legalized. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the legislative, supervision, and representative work of the people’s congress has reached a new level, and this year’s National People’s Congress. "One law, one rule" was revised, and the adherence to "full-process democracy" was written into the law... China's fundamental political system is becoming more and more perfect, and a series of laws and institutional arrangements are being adopted to ensure the stability and development of the economy and society.

　　"From a historical point of view, with the continuous improvement of the People's Congress system, the Central Committee held a high-level People's Congress working meeting for the first time, reflecting the importance of China's fundamental political system to economic and social development." Professor Zhu of the Central Party School (School of International Administration) Lijia analysis pointed out, "From a realistic point of view, China is standing at the intersection of the'two centuries'. This meeting has highlighted the special role of the system itself in ensuring the stable development of China in the future."

　　At this important point, as Xi Jinping said at the meeting, institutional competition is an important aspect of competition in comprehensive national strength, and institutional advantages are an important advantage for a country to win strategic initiative.

Both history and reality show that a stable system leads to a stable country, and a strong system leads to a strong country.

　　Improve the institutional system

　　Maintaining the authority and dignity of the Constitution, speeding up the improvement of the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics, and making good use of the supervisory power granted by the Constitution to the People's Congress... At this meeting, Xi Jinping set out the focus and requirements for the improvement of the people's congress system from six specific aspects.

　　According to experts, as the people's requirements for democracy, the rule of law, security, and the environment have increased, the main contradictions in Chinese society have changed.

In the process of advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities, improving China's fundamental political system plays a key role in solving social problems.

　　For example, maintaining the authority and dignity of the Constitution is related to the concept of the rule of law in society.

From the establishment of the National Constitution Day to the implementation of the constitutional oath system, from the in-depth development of constitutional education, to the “advance of constitutional review work” proposed by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the authority and dignity of the constitution have been continuously consolidated in the institutional arrangements, and they are also being practiced. China promotes the promotion of the concept of the rule of law in society as a whole.

　　In another example, legislative work is related to whether controversial social issues can "have laws to follow."

Whether it is the anti-food waste law starting from "small cuts", leading thrift fashion through legislation, or a series of law amendments with "minors" as the key word, striving to protect the "young you", the continuous improvement of the legal system shows that , Law is the most important tool for governing the country, and good law is the precedent for good governance.

　　Not only that, the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the 2035 long-term goal outline passed at the National People’s Congress this year have made comprehensive arrangements for the improvement of China’s system from political, economic, social, and diplomatic aspects, in order to respond to the determinism of the system. For future risks and trials.

　　“The system has an overall and long-term effect. Improving the level of national governance capabilities lies in the perfection of the system.” Professor Dai Yanjun of the Central Party School (National School of Administration) pointed out that the Central People’s Congress held a working conference to set out the focus for improving the system of the National People’s Congress. It helps to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities from the institutional level.

　　Interpret the system logic

　　One end is connected to Hongqiao Street, and the other leads to the highest legislature... This rainbow cartoon on the wall of Gubei Civic Center, Hongqiao Street, Changning District, Shanghai, is not only a creative idea, but also derived from reality.

In November 2019, during this inspection, Xi Jinping put forward for the first time that "people's democracy is a whole-process democracy".

　　At the work meeting of the Central People's Congress, "the whole process of people's democracy" once again became a key word.

Xi Jinping further explained this. The whole process of China’s people’s democracy has achieved process democracy and outcome democracy, procedural democracy and substantive democracy, direct democracy and indirect democracy, and people’s democracy and the will of the country are unified. It is a whole chain, all-round, and full-coverage. Democracy is the most extensive, true and effective socialist democracy.

　　In the eyes of observers, China’s top leader’s latest expression of the “view on democracy” not only inherits historical context, but also has practical considerations. Under the leadership of the Communist Party, China is forming a complete set of socialist democratic political systems rooted in the country and compliant with the times.

　　Chang Jian, a professor at the Zhou Enlai School of Government and Management of Nankai University, pointed out that the interpretation of the whole process of people’s democracy by the Central People’s Congress not only clearly shows the "view of democracy" in China’s eyes, but also helps the outside world better understand China’s political system. It doesn't fit, only the person who wears it knows this simple truth. It also provides the outside world with a "key" to understand the logic of the operation of the Chinese system.
