With the rapid development and widespread of Internet in China, surveillance both by public opinion and by the masses, via Internet, find their common denominator——the newly emerging media in modern era, which results in the yielding of a new supervising form--the network political surveillance. Being not only the product of, but also the main contents of the development in Chinese democratic politics, it represents another characteristic for Chinese democratic politics.Began with the interrelation between the network political surveillance and the Chinese democratic politics under the Internet times, the article states the basic connotations, features and intrinsic quality of the network political surveillance, reviews its development course and points out that the network political surveillance is the new form of the Chinese democratic politics as well as the new contents. Network political surveillance is the corollary of the Chinese democratic politics, which, from the beginning of the 21s century to now, largely underwent three main stages. It preliminarily exemplifies the advantages of network political surveillance, indeed, companied with some disadvantages of it.It also brings some challenges to the political systems and main ideology of our country, and governing ability of the Party while improving the strengthening of democracy. When facing these challenges, we must deepen our comprehension of the following three basic problems:cognition, essence of socialism, and governing ability of the Party. We must handle Party spirit principle, legality principle, charity principle, and guiding principle well, reinforce the network legislation, promote net-citizens'quality, and strengthen the publicity of government information, perfect network political surveillance system. And the beneficial interaction between network political surveillance and Chinese democratic politics should be impelled as well. Finally, we must also realize that the network political surveillance is the favorable supplement to the real political surveillance system. It is a progressive and exploratory course to improve democratic politics through network surveillance. Focusing on the key opinion, the article is divided into seven parts: introduction, five main chapters and conclusion.Introduction explains the senses of the study, the research significance and its status at home and abroad and paves way for the article. It also gives a brief explanation of the research's clue, methods and the whole logical arrangements.Chapter One mainly analyzes the basic concept connotation, the main features and the major way of realization of the network political surveillance. The point is to define the connotation of the network political surveillance, thus paves way for the article. In my opinion, the so-called network political surveillance is a kind of action which gives comments and criticism to the political phenomenon and political process of the real life in net world through the platform of network. Network political surveillance is the supervision and balance of power between the two kinds of political right subjects. The subjects are net-citizens who own the citizenship, while the objects and the surveillanced objects are government and its officials. The contents of network political surveillance are the political activities, political affairs, and political speech, excluding the surveillance of economy, culture, society, and public affairs. Network political surveillance, the informal political participation in political affairs, is the fundamental right of our citizen empowered by the constitution. It combines the surveillance by the masses in real life and the network surveillance in virtual net environment, which is the necessity of the modern social democratization course. Chapter one also concludes the major features of network political surveillance, that is to say, the generality of the surveillance subjects, the convenience of the surveillance means, the purity of the surveillance environment, and the cheapness of the surveillance cost. The following three chief methods can achieve the network political surveillance: firstly, supervise political power through network power; secondly, restrict political power by network surveillance; thirdly, supervise political power via moral.Chapter Two discusses the main course of our country's network political surveillance development and the reason for its rise. On the basis of reviewing the development of network, it summaries from the view of network political participation the three phases of our country's network political surveillance:the preparation phase, the formation phase, and the developing phase, which show the changing course of network surveillance from contending to expressing and to participating. The reason for the rise and flourish of network political surveillance is that the development of network technology has provided material condition, which is the realistic demand for the corruption problem and the failure on power surveillance as well as the positive response of the party and government on political surveillance.Chapter Three mainly analyzes the new opportunities and improvements to strengthening the socialistic democracy brought by network political surveillance, which is the new method of pushing the socialistic democracy construction, the new platform of enlarging the political participation of citizen, and the new lever of strengthening political power surveillance, and it also offers new opportunities and driving force to the socialistic democracy construction.Chapter Four contains that the network political surveillance brings challenges for socialist democracy. As well as new opportunities, drawbacks created by network political surveillance are in evidence, such as query on the representative subject of network political surveillance, on the maneuverability and fraudulence, on network violence and the contingency and spontaneity of network political surveillance. Those drawbacks mentioned above are roots of crisises which are challenges of the legitimacy of socialist democratic political system, of political conviction of Marxism which is the fundamental guiding principle of our political system, of the confidence in our party who is the leadership of socialist democracy.Chapter Five mainly discusses the construction of socialist democracy, the administration and debugging of network political surveillance. To build a socialist democracy, we must grasp firmly the basic principle of Party character, the principle of legality, the principle of charity and the principle of guiding. In addition, there are five strategies for supervision of network political surveillance. Firstly, be rational. The guiding capacity of network political surveillance must be improves. Secondly, be legal. The fundamental guarantee of network political surveillance must be standardized. Thirdly, be moral. Morality is the basic requirement of network political surveillance. Fourthly, be open and unconditional. The quality must be promoted. Fifthly, be perfect. A perfect system can truly put network political surveillance into effect. In the conclusion part, the author made a forecast of the future on the tendency of the network political surveillance and the socialist democracy. At present, the network political surveillanceis just one of many practical forms of our socailist democratic surveillance system, which, like the other supervising forms, could not give an eventual answer to the problem of superintendence only by which the political surveillance can go on wheels. Meantime, it still has its insurmountability of its own. By far, e we can only confirm that the network political surveillance sullies some technological factors or a sally port to come up with some new trails in the development of the socialist democracy. The ultimate value of the network political surveillance is instrumental rather than purposive, which means, its historical function and future propects will be determined by the practice of socialist democracy.
