Abstract:The multi-party cooperation and political consultation system under the leadership of the Communist Party of China is one of China’s basic political systems. From MAO Ze-dong, DENG Xiao-ping, JIANG Ze-min, and HU Jing-tao to XI Jin-ping, at different times the CPC’s development in CPPCC’s nature and function has transformed CPPCC from a patriotic united front organization under the leadership of CPC to an important form of national democracy and a major channel and specialized agency of China’s consultative democracy. In the report of the recently-concluded 19th Party Congress, Xi Jinping explicitly pointed out “CPPCC, as a distinctively Chinese political institution, is a major channel for socialist consultative democracy, and its committees are specialist consultative bodies. They should strengthen democratic oversight, focusing on the implementation of the major principles, policies, and plans of the Party and the state. They should better represent different social sectors and strengthen the competence of their members.” This is a major milestone in the development in the theory and practice of CPPCC. To secure a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, we should further reform and improve the CPPCC system, increasingly show its function as the Party’s patriotic united front organization, and reinforce its position as a distinctively Chinese specialist consultative agency. Besides, CPPCC committees should better represent different social sectors and strengthen the competence of their members so as to help CPPCC better play its role in political consultation, democratic oversight, and participation in the deliberation and administration of state affairs.
