China's political reform should focus on the development of grassroots democracy. It should first be tried at the grassroots level and then pushed upward, an influential Party scholar has said.

Yu Keping, deputy director of the Compilation and Translation Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, told China Daily that the essence of democratic politics is participation of the citizenry.

He said democracy is a series of institutions and procedures that seek to guarantee freedom, equality and other rights of citizens.
