Improving the system of institutions through which the people run the country and developing socialist democracy

China's socialist democracy is the broadest, most genuine and most effective democracy to safeguard the fundamental interests of the people.

No two political systems are entirely the same, and a political system cannot be judged in abstraction without regard for its social and political context, its history and its cultural traditions.

No one political system should be regarded as the only choice, and we should not just mechanically copy the political systems of other countries.

We will improve the way the Party exercises leadership and governance to ensure that it leads the people in effectively governing the country. We will expand the people's orderly political participation to see that in accordance with law they engage in democratic elections, consultations, decision-making, management and oversight.

We should give better play to the role of deputies to people's congresses, and enable people's congresses at all levels and their standing committees to fully perform their functions as stipulated in the Constitution.

Committees of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference should strengthen democratic oversight ... and better represent the different social sectors and strengthen the competence of their members.

Advancing law-based governance in all fields is a profound revolution in China's governance. A central leading group for advancing law-based governance in all areas will be set up to exercise unified leadership over the initiative to build the rule of law in China. We will strengthen oversight to ensure compliance with the Constitution, advance constitutionality review and safeguard the authority of the Constitution.

The government needs to transform its functions, further streamline administration and delegate powers, develop new ways of regulation and supervision ... and build itself into a service-oriented government.

We will encourage intellectuals who are not Party members and people belonging to new social groups to play the important roles they have in building socialism with Chinese characteristics.
