Abstract:

Developing a whole-process people's democracy is not only an important guarantee for the Communist Party of China (CPC) to fulfill its original aspiration and mission to ensure that the people are the masters of their country, but also one of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization. The development of the whole-process people's democracy by the CPC, guided by the Marxist view of the masses and the theory of people's democracy, follows the scientific laws of socialist democratic political construction, and has distinctive characteristics and significant advantages. The CPC has a complete institutional basis for developing the whole-process people's democracy. The CPC's leadership system and the nation’s system of people's congresses are the political guarantee and basic carrier for developing the whole-process people's democracy, respectively. China's political party system and grass-roots democracy system provide the most effective channels for developing the whole-process people's democracy to gather the broadest political consensus and participation. As our modern, socialist country is built, we must continue to expand the coverage of the whole-process people's democracy. This will include combining the normalized consultative democracy with staged electoral democracy and promoting the matching of democratic consciousness, democratic ability, and democratic style with the construction of a democratic system. One important aspect of this will be the unity of political democracy, economic democracy, and social democracy, such that there is a constant enhancement of the universality, authenticity, and effectiveness of democracy. This is the optimized path for the development of a whole process, people's democracy in the new era.

Key words: the spirit of the 20th national congress of the CPC, the whole-process people's democracy, institutional guarantee, optimization path
