Communist Party Of China And The Cppcc Relations (1949-1956)

Holding high the great banner of people's democracy all along, CPC has founded a democratic system and democratic form with Chinese characteristics since its foundation. The pursuit of democracy not only ran through CPC's revolution periods but also has run trough CPC's governing periods. To develop and perfect the governing theoretical system of CPC and to deepen the study of CPC's governing system and mechanism will be of great significance for CPC to push forward its drive to construct people's democracy.The democracy, being a state system, manifests itself in the basic political structure and operational mechanism which regulates the relationship between CPC on one side and people's conferences of China, People's governments of China and Chinese people's political consultative conference(CPPCC) on the other side, among which the relationship between CPC and CPPC constitutes a link with great importance. The dissertation, taking as its historical clue the evolutional progress of the great political events which happened in the early period of PRC, will be centered mainly on such contents as the united front, multi-party cooperation and democratic politics, all of which has embodied the relationship between CPC and CPPCC.People's democracy is not only the consistent principles that CPC has been upholding both in its revolutionary and governing periods, but also the final achievements of China's democratic revolution. In the evolutional process of constitutional monarchy, democratic republic and people's democracy, the basic principles and democratic political forms of CPPCC has formed its prototype, which later became the historical origin of CPPCC at present. CPC, based on the theory and practice of Marxist united front and political parties'construction, has founded consultation agencies and political institutions with Chinese characteristics. Both for the change of CPC's historic position and for the practical operation of CPC's ruling system, CPPCC has formed its current theoretical forms and operating mechanism.In 1940s, political consultation became a world tidal current. Abroad, The Second world War not only destroyed fascist power but also led to the institutional transformation of capitalism, which in turn caused step by step peace and democracy to become the theme of the times then. As a result, the cooperation between countries and the unification of each class within a nation became a universal phenomenon over the world. Domestically, pre and post the victory of anti-Japan war, the unprecedented peace and democracy movement caused political consultation to become China's mainstream forms of democratic politics. The foundation of CPPCC is not only the evolutionary result of the consultation politics at home and abroad, but also the outcome of CPC'revolutionary victory and democratic pursuance. CCPPC, taking the functions of People's Congress in its early period, has provided a political legitimacy both for CPC to become China's ruling party and for the foundation of People's Republic regimeIn the complementation of the task left over by the New Democratic Revolution and restoring the development of China's national economy, the relationship between CPC and CPPCC made stable progress. After the dispute over the reservation or abolishment of China's democratic parties, the discussion of the nature of CPPCC and the self-modification of CPPCC, the nature of CPPCC came into its form. In China's Land Reform Movement, the Korea War, the Movement of Suppressing Counterrevolution or Counterrevolutionary Motions and the Movement of Three opposes and finally the Movement of Five opposes, the internal class relationship characterizing the relationship between CPC and CPPCC, and the political consultation and democratic collaboration characterizing the relationship between CPC and China's democratic parties also gained stable progress.In China's historical transition to socialism, rapid change has happened in the relationship between CPC and CPPCC. The change of China's class relationship resulting from China's socialist transformation has brought in fundamental changes to the nature of China's united front led by CPC. CPC's leadership system transforming to substitute the party for the government led to the sustained adjustment concerning the relationship between CPC and China's democratic parties. NPC coming into being has caused election democracy to become the leading form of China's democracy. After the systematic crisis, not only the authority of CPPCC has to some extent weakened, but also its concrete consultation forms, which embodies the relationship between CPC and China's democratic parties, has changed from decision-making consultation to suggesting consultation.Democracy is the core connotation characterizing the relationship between CPC and CPPCC. From the foundation of PRC to the complementation of Socialist transformation, CPPCC has its dual features charactering NPC and a consulting agency. CPPCC, as an organ of state power to take the function of NPC before the latter's establishment and essentially an machinery for consultation, is an important embodiment which features CPC's drive to lead China's people to pursue the democratic politics, whose basic characteristics has showed themselves in people's democratic dictatorship, people's democratic rights and China's democratic working styles. In the early period of PRC, CPPCC, having initiated in a special way a democratic system and a route for china to practice its own democracy, contributed a lot to China's political civilization construction.
