2004-03-08 14:46
The multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China is a basic political system in China.


The system means that the CPC is the only party in power in the People’s Republic of China while under the precondition of accepting the leadership of the CPC, the eight other political parties participate in the discussion and management of state affairs, in cooperation with the CPC.


Political consultation means that under the leadership of the CPC, all parties, mass organizations and representatives from all walks of life take part in consultations of the country’s basic policies and important issues in political, economic, cultural and social affairs before a decision is adopted and in the discussion of major issues in the implementation of the decisions.


Political consultation takes the organizational form of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.


Political consultation is the most important political and organization form of the multi-party and political consultation system.


Cooperative relations between the CPC and other political parties are based on the principle of “long-term coexistence and mutual supervision, treating each other with full sincerity and sharing weal or woe.”
