Original title: Let the people be the masters of the country, and create the best practice place for people's democracy in the whole process (practice the entrustment for ten years)

　　Democracy is the common value of all mankind, and it is an important concept that the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people have always adhered to.

　　The whole-process people's democracy with distinctive Chinese characteristics has attracted global attention.

In June 2021, ambassadors from more than 40 countries will participate in the special dialogue on "The Story of the Communist Party of China - The Practice of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in Shanghai".

The diplomatic envoys in China walked into the Gubei Civic Center, Hongqiao Street, Changning District, visited the grass-roots legislative contact point and the Citizen's Council, and had a deeper understanding of socialist democratic politics with Chinese characteristics.

　　Hongqiao Sub-district, Changning District, Shanghai is one of the first grass-roots legislative contact points established by the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.

On November 2, 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was inspecting in Shanghai, came to Hongqiao Sub-district and had a cordial exchange with community residents who were participating in the consultation on legislative opinions. He proposed for the first time that "people's democracy is a democracy in the whole process".

　　Adhere to people's democracy and respect people's initiative.

The whole process of people's democracy is the most extensive socialist democracy.

　　Zhu Guoping, deputy to the National People's Congress and secretary of the party branch of the Hongqiao Pingju Studio in Changning District, once reported to General Secretary Xi Jinping on the work of grass-roots legislative contact points.

"So far, the grass-roots legislative contact point of Hongqiao Sub-district has completed the consultation work on 67 draft laws, covering more than 10,000 person-times, and reporting 1,363 legislative suggestions. The entire legislative process and every link are infiltrated with the original public sentiment, public opinion, public wisdom, People's hearts." Zhu Guoping said.

　　At present, Shanghai has established 25 grass-roots legislative liaison points and more than 6,000 liaison stations for deputies to the National People's Congress.

In 2021, more than 6,000 representative liaison stations will collect more than 13,000 opinions and suggestions.

　　Democracy is not a decoration, it is not for decoration.

The whole process of people's democracy is the most real socialist democracy.

　　To promote the construction of people's democracy in the whole process, Shanghai adheres to open-door legislation and democratic legislation.

Before the Spring Festival this year, 25 representatives of minors were invited into the meeting hall of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress to express their opinions and suggestions on the "Regulations on the Protection of Minors in Shanghai (Revised Draft)".

　　The Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress set up the grass-roots legislative contact point in Caoyangxincun Street. In a legislative opinion consultation, it was found that community residents had concentrated opinions on the problem of parking difficulties in the old community.

The symposium was held immediately, and residents, industry committees, and property management companies brainstormed and came up with solutions.

　　Democracy is meant to solve problems that people need to solve.

The whole process of people's democracy is the most effective socialist democracy.

　　Shanghai integrates the whole process of people's democracy into all aspects of people's city construction.

In July 2021, the "Several Regulations on the Collection of People's Suggestions in Shanghai" came into effect. This is the first local regulation in the country formulated by the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress to specifically promote and regulate the collection of people's suggestions. The management and operation mechanism of "research-transformation" promotes the implementation and transformation of the results suggested by the people.

In the past two years, Shanghai has received a total of 150,000 opinions and suggestions, and the adoption rate of important suggestions submitted to the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government has reached 98.5%.

　　"We are following a path of socialist political development with Chinese characteristics, and people's democracy is a democracy in the whole process." Shanghai, bearing in mind the general secretary's entrustment, revolves around the whole process of people's democracy as a whole-chain, all-round, and fully-covered democracy. The broadest, most authentic and most effective democracy is striving to create the best practice place for people's democracy in the whole process.
