The period from 1935 to 1947 was a historical period of extremely complicated inter-party relations in China.On the one hand,the complexity of inter-party relations was highlighted by that of the Kuomintang(KMT)and the Communist Party of China(CPC).On the other hand,the complexity of inter-party relations was reflected in the development trajectory of the democratic parties.It can be said that the inter-party relations in this period were very delicate,and this delicacy was vividly reflected through the negotiation between the parties.Party consultation in the period of the second cooperation between the KMT and the CPC was an inevitable choice under special background.It took the cooperation against Japan as the main goal ran through the whole process of the brewing,preliminary formation,tortuous development and helpless breakdown of the second cooperation between the KMT and the CPC.It was a significant foundation for the hard-won victory of the China’s Anti-Japanese War and was an important cradle of democratic institutions and modes of operation.At the same time,there were certain historical limitations,such as the crisis of confidence between the two major parties,the unbalanced participation of the democratic parties,and the lack of a mechanism to ensure the long-term and effective operation of the consultation results.China’s political party consultation is rooted in the practice of political parties in different periods in China and has a strong historical background.Taking the historical practice of political party consultation as the cornerstone to extract useful reference for the political party consultation is conducive to putting forward feasible and beneficial paths for the institutional construction at the macro level,the construction of the ruling party and participating parties at the micro level,and the promotion of the great cause of national reunification,so as to make the whole process of people’s democracy more and more extensive. |
