China News Service, Beijing, December 4th. The State Council Information Office of China issued a white paper "Democracy in China" on the 4th.
The white paper is divided into three parts: the foreword, the main body, and the concluding remarks.
The main text is divided into five parts: "The Chinese Communist Party leads the people to realize the whole process of people's democracy", "Scientific and effective institutional arrangements", "Democratic practice with concrete reality", "Extensive and effective democracy", and "Enriching the form of human political civilization".
The white paper says that democracy is the common value of all mankind and an important concept that the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people have unswervingly adhered to.
Over the past 100 years, the party has held high the banner of people’s democracy and led the people in a country with thousands of years of feudal history and a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in modern times.
The white paper introduces that China's democracy is a people's democracy, and that the people are the masters of the country are the essence and core of Chinese democracy.
The whole process of people’s democracy has realized process democracy and result democracy, procedural democracy and substantive democracy, direct democracy and indirect democracy, and people’s democracy and the will of the state. The real and most useful socialist democracy.
The white paper emphasizes that democracy is historical, specific, and developmental. Democracy in various countries is rooted in the country’s historical and cultural traditions and grown up in the practice, exploration and wisdom of the people of the country. There are different democratic paths and different forms of democracy.
Democracy is not an ornament, it is not used to make decorations, but to solve the problems that the people need to solve.
Democracy is the right of the people of all countries, not the patent of a few countries.
The white paper pointed out that whether a country is democratic or not should be judged by the people of the country, and should not be judged by a few outsiders.
Whether or not a country in the international community is democratic should be judged by the international community together, and should not be judged by a few self-righteous countries.
There are many ways to achieve democracy, and they cannot be the same.
It is undemocratic in itself to measure the colorful political systems of the world with a single ruler, and to examine the colorful political civilization of mankind with a monotonous eye.
"This white paper is an important document that systematically introduces China's democratic values, development history, institutional system, participation in practice, and achievements and contributions." Xu Lin, vice minister of the Central Propaganda Department and director of the Information Office of the State Council, was held at the Information Office of the State Council of China on the same day Said at the press conference.
He said that it can be clearly seen that the whole process of people’s democracy in China has both distinct concepts and practical manifestations; it has both system procedures and participation in practice; it has not only promoted China’s development, but also enriched human political civilization. It is history. A democratic system in which logic, theoretical logic, and practical logic are organically unified.
