Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, socialist consultative democracy is an important form of democracy in which all sectors of the people carry out extensive consultations before and during the implementation of policy decisions on major issues of reform, development, and stability and practical issues involving the vital interests of the masses, and strive to form a consensus.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Consultative democracy is a unique, unique and unique form of democracy in China's socialist democratic politics. It originates from the excellent traditional political culture formed by the Chinese nation for a long time, from the practical process of China's political development after modern times, from the long-term practice of the Communist Party of China in leading the people in revolution, construction and reform, from the great practice of all parties, groups, nationalities, social strata and people from all walks of life in the political system after the founding of New China, and from China's continuous innovation in the political system since the reform and opening up.

Consultative democracy meets the actual needs of different historical periods of China's economic and social development, is a great creation of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people, and is an important form of democracy that suits China's national conditions and has distinctive Chinese characteristics.

Socialist consultative democracy has a profound cultural foundation. China's consultative democracy is rooted in traditional Chinese values.

For a long time, the Chinese nation has formed excellent political and cultural traditions such as serving the common good, being inclusive, and seeking common ground while reserving differences, emphasizing the importance of people among themselves

"Loyalty, forgiveness, benevolence and harmony" is between people and society

"Gregariousness". Civil society is also known for its tendency to mediate and make peace, and coordination and consultation play a role in resolving difficulties and resolving disputes in daily life.

These excellent cultural genes have formed the historical and cultural resources of deliberative democracy. Socialist consultative democracy has a solid theoretical foundation.

China's socialist democracy is the most extensive, truest, and most effective democracy for safeguarding the fundamental interests of the people, socialist consultative democracy is an important form of people's democracy, and carrying out extensive consultations among the people is an inevitable requirement for realizing people's democracy.

General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "Serving the people wholeheartedly and always representing the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people is an important prerequisite and foundation for us to be able to practice and develop consultative democracy. "Consultative democracy is an important content and distinctive feature of the theory of socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics, and to promote consultative democracy is to find the greatest common divisor of the people's wishes and demands.

Only by persisting in discussing more things, encountering problems, and doing things, and discussing more and more in-depth discussions, can we truly safeguard and realize the fundamental interests of the masses of the people and ensure that the people are the masters of the country.

Socialist consultative democracy has a solid practical foundation. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Consultative democracy is deeply embedded in the whole process of China's socialist democratic politics. "As early as the period of the New Democratic Revolution, our Party scientifically analyzed the nature, main contradictions, and characteristics of Chinese society, clearly defined the leading forces, forces to rely on, and revolutionary objects of the Chinese revolution, united all forces that could be united, and boldly used consultation and other forms to establish a broad united front.

On September 21, 1949, the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was held, marking the formal establishment of the system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the CPPCC made historic contributions to the restoration and development of the national economy, the consolidation of the nascent people's political power, the promotion of various social reforms, and the promotion of socialist revolution and construction.

Since the beginning of reform and opening up, the system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China has continued to innovate and develop, and has been established as a basic political system in China.

The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has opened a new chapter in the construction of socialist consultative democracy, and the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has made comprehensive arrangements for promoting the construction of consultative democracy.

Socialist consultative democracy has a solid institutional foundation. China's consultative democracy is supported by the fundamental political system and the basic political system.

The CPPCC is an institutional arrangement with Chinese characteristics, an important channel and a special consultative body for socialist consultative democracy, which runs through the entire process of the CPPCC in carrying out political consultation, democratic supervision, and participation in and discussion of state affairs.

Upholding the fundamental political system and the basic political system is an important guarantee for the people to directly exercise their democratic rights in accordance with the law, and an important guarantee for the vigorous development of consultative democracy.

On the basis of upholding the fundamental political system and the basic political system, the institutionalization of consultative democracy is also steadily advancing.

In recent years, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Socialist Consultative Democracy", and the Office of the CPC Central Committee and the Office of the State Council have issued the "Implementation Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Consultative Democracy in the People's Political Consultative Conference", "Opinions on Strengthening Consultation in Urban and Rural Communities", "Implementation Opinions on Strengthening Consultation among Political Parties" and other supporting documents.
