Chinese deliberative democracy is the specific form and unique advantage of the Chinese socialist democracy politics.It has its own unique formation logic.In ancient Chinese society,although there was no deliberative democracy system,a simple idea of deliberative democracy indeed existed.For example,the Chinese traditional"harmony" culture,People-oriented thoughts,and the "Governance democracy" in political practice,and so on.All of these provided profound cultural resources for the formation of Chinese deliberative democracy and have inherently influenced the process of the formation of Chinese deliberative democracy.The spread of western capitalist democratic ideas in China has promoted the emergence of Chinese democratic thoughts.At the same time,the failure of bourgeois democracy in China has urged the Chinese patriots to re-examine the development of China ’s democratic road and explore a road of democracy which is different from western capitalism.Modern western capitalist democratic thought has a historic influence on the formation of Chinese deliberative democracy.The Marxist democratic ideology and Marxist classic writers’thoughts on the united front and multi-party cooperation have provided fundamental guidance and had decisive influence on the development of Chinese deliberative democracy.The Chinese traditional ideology and culture,the modern western capitalist democratic thought and the Marx democratic thought constituted the ideological origin of Chinese deliberative democracy.Chinese deliberative democracy is a great creation realized by the Communist Party of China on the basis of its practice of leading the country’s revolutions,constructions,and reforms.In practice,its four forms:inter-party deliberative democracy,inner-party deliberative democracy,social deliberative democracy and public deliberative democracy gradually emerged.It is deeply embedded in the whole process of Chinese socialist democracy and has a solid practical foundation.In practice,the connotation of Chinese deliberative democracy is gradually clear.Chinese deliberative democracy has always insisted on the dominant position of the people.Based on political party-state-society-citizen interaction and its responsibility to the public interest.With equal multi-subject interaction as the core.The operation procedure is realized by interest expression,interest coordination and benefit.It aims to promote the orderly political participation and realize democratic decision-making.Chinese deliberative democracy was born in the Communist Party of China’s practice of leading the Chinese people in the revolution,construction and reform.There is an essential difference between Western deliberative democracy and China’s.Compared with Western deliberative democracy,Chinese deliberative democracy has unique advantages.For example,Chinese deliberative democracy has excellent cultural tradition and profound theoretical foundation;has profound historical origin and rich practical experience,has a solid institutional foundation and reasonable operating procedures;has a strong leadership core and strong masses foundation.Chinese deliberative democracy has shown its unique value from the perspective of the socialist democratic system with Chinese characteristics,the ultimate goal of comprehensively deepening reforms,and the level of human democracy and political civilization.Chinese deliberative democracy has created an important institutional form of socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics;provided an important way to modernize the governance system and governance capabilities;contributed to the construction of human democracy and political civilization.However,it is important to realize that Chinese deliberative democracy is not a substitute for electoral democracy.The relationships between them are complementary and mutually reinforcing.They constitute two basic forms of socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics.Chinese deliberative democracy has broaden the developmental space in China.Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era,and the main social contradictions have changed.All of these put forward new and higher requirements for the development of Chinese deliberative democracy.Therefore,in order to give full play to the unique advantages of Chinese deliberative democracy,it is necessary to strengthen the institutionalization,standardization and procedural construction of deliberative democracy,to form a complete system procedure and participate in practice,to construct a reasonable and complete deliberative democratic system. |
