The whole process of people's democracy is the latest summary of the practice of socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics. It embodies the distinctive features, remarkable strengths and strong vitality of Chinese democracy, greatly enriched and developed Marxist thoughts on people's democracy, and contributed Chinese wisdom to the political civilization of mankind. The whole process of people's democracy was formed, developed, and realized under the leadership of the CPC, and the Party's leadership is the fundamental political guarantee for its development.

People's democracy is the banner the COMMUNIST Party of China has always held high. Since its founding, the CPC has inscribed on its banner the fact that the people are masters of the country, rallying and leading the Chinese people in arduous struggles. During the agrarian Revolution, the Outline of the Constitution of the Soviet Republic of China stipulated: "The whole Soviet political power belongs to the workers, peasants, red Army soldiers and all the toiling people." "Under Soviet power, all workers, peasants, red army soldiers and all the toiling people have the right to elect representatives to control the management of power." Our Party is keenly aware that only by establishing a socialist democratic political system, ensuring and supporting the people as masters of the country, society and their own destinies, can we truly achieve national independence, liberation, prosperity and happiness. Throughout history, from the Soviet congress to the shensi-kansu-ningsia border region council, from the liberation war period of the people's representative conference to the people's congress system formally established, a common thread is visible, that is the communist party of China has always been based on China's actual, satisfy people's willingness to constantly explore new political system in which people became their own masters. These explorations fully embody the nature, purpose and original mission of our Party. The COMMUNIST Party of China has no special interests of its own. It never represents the interests of any interest group, powerful group or privileged class, but always represents the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. By upholding the leadership of the CPC, we can always support and ensure that the people become masters of their own country.

The party's leadership ensures the authenticity of the whole process of people's democracy. As the product of the development of human political civilization, democracy is the common value of all mankind. Democracy cannot be just a slogan or a label. It must be fully implemented in the country's political and social activities, give full play to its institutional functions, and ensure that the people enjoy tangible rights. In our country, people's democracy has great universality and authenticity. Under the leadership of the Party, we have established a series of systems and laws to ensure that the people are masters of the country, and with economic and social development, the democratic rights of the people are increasingly fully realized. "In a socialist country led by the Communist Party of China, all power belongs to the people, and political power must never be distributed on the basis of status, wealth or connections," xi said. Among the deputies to the 13th NPC, 15.7 percent were front-line workers and farmers, and 20.57 percent were professional and technical personnel, both rising over the previous session. There are only a few thousand people of the Lhoba ethnic group living in Tibet, and there is also one deputy to the National People's Congress. This is unthinkable in many Western countries. The whole process of people's democracy is not only about how power is generated, but also about how power is used. Under the leadership of the Party, the people have not only the right to democratic elections, but also the right to democratic consultation, decision-making, management and supervision. Not only do they have the right to vote in elections, but they also have the right to participate extensively, continuously and deeply in daily political life, which effectively prevents the phenomenon that promises are made all over the place in western democratic elections and no one cares about them after elections.

Our Party ensures that the people are truly masters of the country through the system of institutions. Leadership by the COMMUNIST Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest strength of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. Under the leadership of the party, we establish the people's congress's fundamental political system, the communist party of China leads the multi-party cooperation and political consultation system, the system of regional national autonomy, the grassroots autonomy system, such as the basic political system, formed the system of people's self-determination system, for the realization of the whole process of people's democracy provided a reliable system guarantee. China's Constitution stipulates that the National People's Congress and local people's congresses at all levels are democratically elected, responsible to the people and subject to their supervision. The people administer state affairs, economic and cultural undertakings and social affairs through various channels and in various forms in accordance with the law. In the practice of socialist democracy, it is very important to let the people's representatives participate in the management of state and social life through election in accordance with the law, and it is also very important to let the people participate in the management of state and social life through systems and means other than election. Our Party not only emphasizes the role of electoral democracy, but also gives full play to the advantages of consultative democracy. The two forms of electoral democracy and consultative democracy complement each other, ensuring the unity of process democracy and result-oriented democracy, formal democracy and substantive democracy, direct democracy and indirect democracy, and avoiding the malpractice of some Western countries of "democracy at the time of election and no democracy at the end of election". Since the 18th NATIONAL Congress of the CPC, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has adhered to the unity of Party leadership, the position of the people as masters of the country, and law-based governance, strengthened the institutional guarantee for the position of the people as masters of the country, and made socialist democracy more institutionalized, standardized, and procedural. Under the system of the people running the country, democratic election, democratic consultation, democratic decision-making, democratic management, and democratic oversight run through the system, ensuring that democracy is more extensive, fuller, and sound.

We have always focused on "solving the problems that the people want to solve" and constantly improved the effectiveness of people's democracy throughout the process. To evaluate the governance of a country, we should not only look at the form of democracy, but also the effectiveness of democracy. In the practice of democracy in China, democracy is not an ornament, not for decoration, but for solving the problems that the people need to solve. Chinese-style democracy truly protects the people's rights and interests, fully respects the principal position of the people, and responds to their needs and appeals in a timely manner. The Party takes the people's aspiration for a better life as its goal, and through specific democratic systems, forms and means, embodies the position of the people as masters of the country in every aspect of the country's political and social life. The leadership of the party to ensure that the people are masters of the country specifically, realistically reflect to the Chinese communist party ruling and state governance, in particular, realistically reflect all aspects to the Chinese communist party and the state organs, various levels of work, in particular, realistically reflect to the people on the implementation and development of their own interests, continually improve the people's feeling, happiness and security.

History and reality have fully proved that in China, only the COMMUNIST Party of China has the ability and prestige to organize forces from all sectors to form a vivid practice with the participation of the people and avoid a chaotic situation in which each party runs its own affairs. Only the CPC can consciously practice the mass line, truly understand the people's feelings, reflect their will, pool their wisdom, cherish their strength, and represent the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. Only the CPC can fully coordinate the demands of various interests, build a broad social consensus, and maximize the interests of all parties. Only the CPC can form an efficient decision-making mechanism, fully promote democracy and effective centralism, embody the unity of democracy and rule of law, democracy and efficiency, and avoid the situation of deliberation without decision and decision without failure. Thanks to the strong leadership of the COMMUNIST Party of China, people's democracy has deepened throughout the entire process, so that the people can continue to enjoy and improve their democratic rights.
