On the afternoon of March 6, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, visited the members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in the fields of agriculture, social welfare and social security, and participated in the joint group meeting.
Visiting members of the CPPCC and participating in joint group discussions are already a "fixed schedule" for Xi Jinping during the two sessions.
Ten to joint group meetings, covering more than 20 sectors such as democratic parties, science and technology, economy, literature and art, medical care, education, Taiwan-related, and overseas Chinese.
"We should make good use of the democratic form and institutional channel of political party consultation. We should discuss things more often, discuss things well, and discuss things when we have things. Through consultation, we will build consensus, wisdom, and strength." , face to face with members.
The People's Political Consultative Conference has played an important role in the realization of the people's democracy in the whole process.
Discuss development plans with members
From scientific and technological innovation to literary and artistic creation, from the private economy to epidemic response, from ethnic work to cross-strait relations, from the new party system to the gathering of overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese, the major issues that Xi Jinping discussed with the committee members are related to national rejuvenation and development.
"After I became general secretary, I was the first to come to the science and technology group." Xi Jinping said in 2013 when he participated in the joint group meeting of the Association for Science and Technology and the members of the science and technology community. China must unswervingly follow the path of independent innovation with Chinese characteristics and deepen the reform of the science and technology system.
When the development of the private economy encountered noise, Xi Jinping's speech cleared up the myth.
He further mentioned that China's basic economic system must adhere to the "two unshakable"; the use of "pro" and "qing" to describe the new relationship between government and business is self-evident for the expectations of social atmosphere and economic development.
The work of culture, art, philosophy and social sciences "bacon casts the soul", Xi Jinping spoke to the members of the literary and art circles and social science circles many times about "the people": "Only by taking root in the people, can creativity obtain an inexhaustible and inexhaustible source. "
At the critical moment in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the vast number of medical and educational workers are fighting hard on different fronts.
Xi Jinping extended sincere condolences to them and put forward new requirements, "putting the protection of people's health in the strategic position of priority development".
Under the resonance of the epidemic in the century and the changes of the century, Xi Jinping analyzed the economic situation, faced up to the difficulties, risks, and challenges, and emphasized "strive to cultivate new opportunities in the midst of crises, and open new ones in the changing situation."
"Everything is easy, and eating is the biggest thing. People take food as their heaven." This time, Xi Jinping proposed to the members of the agricultural, social welfare and social security circles that the fundamental way to solve the problem of eating is technology.
Find the greatest common divisor in society
"Upholding the leadership of the Communist Party of China is not about abandoning democracy, but about forming a broader and more effective democracy." Xi Jinping said when he participated in a joint group meeting in 2018.
Previously, he also pointed out that under China's socialist system, there is a good deal to discuss, and everyone's affairs should be discussed by everyone, so as to find the greatest common divisor of the wishes and demands of the whole society.
Consultative democracy is "the true meaning of people's democracy".
This form of democracy originates from the long-standing political culture of the Chinese nation, from the process of Chinese political development, and from the long-term practice of the Chinese Communist Party.
How should the CPPCC implement deliberative democracy into practice?
"Broader" and "more effective" are indispensable.
The process of extensive consultation among the people in all aspects, in Xi Jinping's view, is "the process of promoting democracy and brainstorming", "the process of realizing the people's mastery of the country", and "the process of unifying thoughts and building consensus".
A "more effective democracy" is oriented towards solving real problems.
Xi Jinping pointed out that true negotiation requires negotiation before and during decision-making. We decide and adjust our decision-making and work according to the opinions and suggestions of various parties, and systematically guarantee the implementation of the negotiation results, so that our decision-making and work will be more smooth. In line with public opinion, in line with reality.
Re-negotiation and true negotiation are reflected in the work of the current CPPCC.
Last year alone, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference held 25 consultation activities, conducted 82 inspections and investigations, and filed more than 5,000 proposals.
After the negotiation of the country, some participating members said that Xi Jinping's speech pointed out the direction for future work, set a comparison table, and injected new impetus.
Draw the largest concentric circles
For more than 70 years, the CPPCC has always been a unity of consistency and diversity.
Xi Jinping once proposed that as long as we stick to the center of the political bottom line, the longer the radius of inclusive diversity, the larger the concentric circles drawn.
In 2014, when he visited the members of the minority community, Xi Jinping said that unity and stability are blessings, and division and turmoil are disasters.
The people of all ethnic groups in the country must "cherish the political situation of great national unity" and "build the iron walls of national unity, social stability, and national unity."
In the 2015 True Love Talk to Taiwan, Xi Jinping recalled his 18 years of working in Fujian and recalled that he knew "a lot" of Taiwan compatriots.
"We must cherish the hard-won peaceful environment now. We must be wary of 'Taiwan independence'." He emphasized that history cannot be chosen, and the future can be created.
Compatriots on both sides of the strait should follow this path unswervingly.
In 2018, Xi Jinping described the "multi-party cooperation and political consultation system led by the Communist Party of China" as "a new type of party system that grew out of Chinese soil."
It "effectively avoids the drawbacks of one party's lack of supervision or multiple parties taking turns and vicious competition."
National rejuvenation and national reunification are the general trend. As the most extensive patriotic united front organization, the CPPCC will unite every force and make great contributions.
The realization of democratic politics cannot be constrained to a rigid model. The CPPCC consultative democracy system interprets the profound meaning of people's democracy in the whole process.
The ten-year discussion between Xi Jinping and the CPPCC members is a footprint, which provides a sample of Chinese-style practice for the world's political civilization.
