On September 21, 2014, the CPC Central Committee and the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference held a grand ceremony to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference in the auditorium of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. The top leader attended and delivered a speech.

"Democracy is not an ornament, not for decoration, but to solve the problems that the people want to solve. Socialist consultative democracy should be real, not a show, it should be all-round, not limited to a certain aspect, and it should be done up and down the country, not limited to a certain level. Consultation means real consultation, and real consultation means consultation before and in decision-making, and the system guarantees that the results of consultation will be realized, so that decisions and work are better in line with public opinion and reality."

"Under China’s socialist system, finding the greatest common denominator of the will and demands of the whole society is the true meaning of people’s *********," the top leader said on Sept. 21, 2014, at the 65th anniversary of the founding of the ******* People’s Political Consultative Conference.

More than half a month ago, on the 60th anniversary of the founding of the National People’s Congress, the Supreme Leader said at the meeting that we must uphold and improve the grass-roots mass autonomy system, develop grass-roots democracy, ensure that the people directly exercise their democratic rights in accordance with the law, and effectively prevent the phenomenon that the people have power in form but not in fact.

********* is an important part of the cause of socialism with ******* characteristics, and an important way to ensure that the people are the masters of their own affairs. Behind the high-frequency emphasis is the continuous thinking and exploration of people’s ********* by the top leaders.

Democracy for Development:

The governance does not have to be the same, and the period is for the benefit of the people

According to statistics from People’s Daily Online reporters, in the speeches of the National People’s Congress and the National Committee of the ******* People’s Political Consultative Conference in September alone, the supreme leader mentioned the word "*********" 122 times.

"All kinds of plans that copy the Western model of political systems cannot fulfill the historical tasks of saving the Chinese nation and fighting imperialism and feudalism, nor can they stabilize China’s political situation and society, nor can they provide institutional guarantees for China to achieve national prosperity and strength and people’s happiness," the supreme leader said as he reviewed the progress of China’s democratic development at a meeting celebrating the 60th anniversary of the founding of the National People’s Congress.

"If an orange is born in Huainan, it is an orange, and if it is born in Huaibei, it is an orange." The political path needs to learn from the experience of other countries, but there is no unified model.

At the conference, the supreme leader said: "We need to learn from the beneficial achievements of foreign political civilization, but we must not give up the fundamentals of China’s political system. China has more than 9.6 million square kilometers of land and 56 ethnic groups. Whose model can we follow? Who can tell us what to do?" The supreme leader pointed out that copying the political system of other countries will not work, it will be unsuitable for the soil, it will be a tiger that will not become an anti-dog, and it will even ruin the future of the country. Only a system that is rooted in the soil of the country and absorbs abundant nutrients can be the most reliable and effective

在人民政协成立65周年大会上，最高领袖再次强调，“履不必同，期于适足；治不必同，期于利民。”保证和支持人民当家作主不是一句口号、不是一句空话，必须落实到国家政治生活和社会生活之中，保证人民依法有效行使管理国家事务、管理经济和文化事业、管理社会事务的权力。

民主反腐败：

政之所要，在乎民心

什么是民主？古往今来，不同的理论家提出了相同的理念，但怎么确保人民当家作主，却派生了不同的实践，这一问题也一直是最高领袖的思考的主题。

2005年2月1日，时任浙江省委书记的最高领袖在浙江省纪委第七次全体会议上讲话，指出构建惩治和预防腐败体系要与发展社会主义民主政治相适应。用发展民主来防止腐败，是我们党反腐倡廉的一条重要经验。这条经验在最高领袖此后对反腐败工作的指导中始终贯穿始终。

今年9月5日，最高领袖在全国人大成立60周年大会上强调，发展人民民主必须坚持依法治国、维护宪法法律权威，使民主制度化、法律化，使这种制度和法律不因领导人的改变而改变，不因领导人的看法和注意力的改变而改变。

最高领袖说，一个政党，一个政权，其前途命运取决于人心向背。人民群众反对什么、痛恨什么，我们就要坚决防范和打击。人民群众最痛恨腐败现象，我们就必须坚定不移反对腐败。要坚持用制度管权管事管人，抓紧形成不想腐、不能腐、不敢腐的有效机制，让人民监督权力，让权力在阳光下运行，把权力关进制度的笼子里。要坚持“老虎”、“苍蝇”一起打，坚持有腐必反、有贪必肃，下最大气力解决腐败问题，努力营造风清气正的党风政风和社会风气，不断以反腐倡廉的新成效取信于民。

Democracy makes friends:

A trip to the great road, the world is public

The supreme leader’s explanation of democracy is not limited to the construction of the political system of the country and the party, but also reflected in his major occasions in international affairs. The idea of "promoting the democratization of international relations" appears frequently.

"We should work together to democratize international relations," the Supreme Leader said at the 60th anniversary of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence on June 28, 2014. "The fate of the world must be in the hands of the people of all countries, and the affairs of the world should be handled by the governments and people of all countries through consultation. The idea of monopolizing international affairs is outdated, and the action of monopolizing international affairs will definitely not succeed."

In July 2014, the Supreme Leader gave a joint interview to the media of four Latin American countries. He quoted the ancient Chinese saying "A journey of the great road is also a journey of the world, and the world is for the public" to explain his views: "We maintain that the fate of the world must be jointly controlled by the people of all countries, and the affairs of the world can only be handled by the governments and people of all countries. All countries in the world, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, are equal members of the international community and should work together to promote the democratization of international relations."

On July 15, 2014, at the 6th BRICS Summit, the Supreme Leader again stressed: "We should adhere to the spirit of inclusiveness, promote mutual tolerance of different social systems, mutual learning of different cultures and civilizations, mutual benefit of different development models, and be practitioners of democratization in international relations."

From home to abroad, from the local level to the central government, the Supreme Leader deeply considered the rational path of people’s democracy and proposed a path that better reflects the will of the people. This exploration and practice has brought about a new political style of the present and will bring a new future to China.
