Political Consultative System in China
1 min readThe Chinese constitution stipulates that the system of multiparty cooperation and political consultation shall continue to exist and develop.
Apart from the Communist Party of China (CPC), there are eight democratic parties in China. Multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the basic political system in China.
Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the democratic parties keep close cooperative ties with the Communist Party of China politically. The relationship between these parties and the Communist Party of China is based on political cooperation rather than on political competition.
In this cooperative political relationship, the Communist Party of China is at the helm of the state while the other parties jointly participate in the administration of state affairs.
The guiding principle of multi-party cooperation is long-term coexistence and mutual supervision, treating each other with full sincerity and sharing weal and woe. It is the most important organization of all those serving as a channel for cooperation between the Communist Party of China and other parties.
