China's State Council Information Office on Saturday released a white paper "China: Democracy That Works."
The white paper is an important document that gives a systematic overview of the value concept, development course, institutional system, participation and practices, as well as achievements and contributions of China's democracy, said Xu Lin, deputy head of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and director of the State Council Information Office at a press briefing in Beijing on Saturday.
Xu said: "The white paper says that whole-process people's democracy integrates process-oriented democracy with results-oriented democracy, procedural democracy with substantive democracy, direct democracy with indirect democracy, and people's democracy with the will of the state. It is a model of socialist democracy that covers all aspects of the democratic process and all sectors of society. It is a true democracy that works."
According to Xu, the white paper contains a foreword, the main content and a conclusion. The main content covers such topics as "Whole-Process People's Democracy Under CPC Leadership", "A Sound Institutional Framework", "Concrete and Pragmatic Practices", "Democracy That Works", "A New Model of Democracy".
Xu said that the five parts clearly demonstrate that "China's whole-process people's democracy is a clear concept reflected in reality. It involves institutional procedures and concrete practices. It has promoted China's development and enriched political civilization of humanity. It is a democratic system that combines historical, theoretical and practical logic into an organic whole."
The white paper says that democracy is a common value of humanity and an ideal that has always been cherished by the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people.
Over the past hundred years, the Party has led the people in realizing people's democracy in China and the Chinese people now truly hold in their hands their own destiny and the destiny of society and the country, the white paper says.
The people's status as masters of the country is the essence of people's democracy, it says.
