The \u201ctwo sessions\u201d in China, namely the annual sessions of China\u2019s top legislature and political advisory body, offer a window into the dynamism and strength of the country\u2019s whole-process people\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n
During the just-concluded annual sessions of the 13th National People\u2019s Congress (NPC), China\u2019s top legislature, and the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People\u2019s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the country\u2019s top political advisory body, nearly 5,000 NPC deputies and CPPCC members gathered in Beijing to perform their duties by submitting motions and proposals and making suggestions on major political and social issues of the country under the banner of democracy.
\nNPC deputies and CPPCC members stressed that it\u2019s necessary to maintain and improve institutions, standards and procedures of law-based socialist democracy, continuously promote the construction of the whole-process people\u2019s democracy, and make sure that the principle of the people being masters of the country is manifested in the Party\u2019s governance policies and measures, in all aspects of the work of Party and state organs at all levels, and in the efforts to meet the people\u2019s expectations for a better life.
\nChina\u2019s whole-process people\u2019s democracy fully represents the people\u2019s will, protects their rights and unleashes their potential to create, pointed out Go Khok, mayor of Lhasa, capital city of southwest China\u2019s Tibet autonomous region, and a NPC deputy.
\nThe journey of Tibet is a vivid demonstration of the practice of the whole-process people\u2019s democracy, he said, referring to the region\u2019s journey from its peaceful liberation when people of all ethnic groups became the masters of the region to its historically getting rid of poverty and comprehensively building a moderately prosperous society since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held in 2012.
\nIn recent years, Lhasa has consulted the people on governance, learned about their needs and sought their advice to ensure that various links of decision-making, enforcement and oversight take into consideration the people\u2019s opinions and are under the people\u2019s supervision, according to him.
\n\u201cAll the suggestions I made were appreciated by and received responses from relevant authorities,\u201d said Tong Luwen, a NPC deputy as well as director of the academic center under the Party school of the CPC committee of Zhangjiajie city, central China\u2019s Hunan province. The system of people\u2019s congresses is an important institutional vehicle for realizing whole-process people\u2019s democracy in China, Tong noted.
\nTong has gained a deep understanding of the institutional advantages of the system of people\u2019s congresses in the execution of her duties. By integrating the leadership of the CPC, the people\u2019s status as masters of the country and the rule of law, China has fully tapped into the characteristics and strengths of its political systems, she pointed out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
