over the past 70 years since the founding of the people's republic of china, our party has led the people in creating a miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability rarely seen in the world. the reason is that the unique national system and national governance system play a great role. the fourth plenary session of the 19th central committee of the communist party of china for the first time systematically summarized 13 significant advantages of china's state system and national governance system, which provided a basic basis for us to strengthen our confidence in the path, theory, system and culture of socialism with chinese characteristics.
what are the obvious advantages
whether the national system and governance system have advantages or not depends on the practical effect. over the past 70 years since the founding of the people's republic of china, and especially over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, china has made tremendous achievements in various fields, demonstrating the remarkable advantages of china's state system and governance system.
the centralized and unified leadership of the party can maintain stability and continuity in chinese politics. this advantage is clear even to many foreigners. in their view, big decisions come quickly and are executed well. while they are arguing, the chinese have already started. china has reached its 13th five-year development plan, which has been formulated and implemented one after another. the chinese communist party is capable of planning the country's development for decades. this is impossible under a multi-party system.
the position of the people as masters of the country enables them to truly manage the affairs of the state. in china, all power belongs to the people, and the people exercise state power through the people's congresses, ensuring that people's congresses at all levels are democratically elected, accountable to the people and subject to their oversight, and that state organs at all levels are elected, accountable to and supervised by the people. we will support and ensure that people's congresses and their standing committees exercise their functions and powers in accordance with the law, and improve the system of oversight by people's congresses over the government, the committee, and the two houses. deputies to the npc come from all regions, ethnic groups and social strata, ranging from leading cadres, entrepreneurs, professional and technical personnel to ordinary workers and farmers. china's people's congress has more power than the parliaments of many countries, and the proportion of ordinary workers among its deputies is higher than that of many other countries. this shows that democracy in china is really about the people being the masters of the country, not the money democracy like in some countries. in addition to the election democracy, china also enjoys extensive consultative democracy. there are many issues that need to be discussed and discussed easily. unlike some countries, china will not force a simple vote or even a referendum, even if more than 40 percent of the people do not agree, knowing that the public opinion is widely divided.
a national chess game, can concentrate on doing great things. china is a country with a unitary system. since the founding of the people's republic of china in 1949, the central government has mobilized the resources of various regions and sectors to accomplish many major tasks that are difficult for other countries to accomplish. the central government can help the development of less developed areas by means of financial transfer payments and counterpart assistance. when one party is in trouble, all sides support. this covid 19 epidemic prevention and control, the central government in a very short period of time from the national dispatch of more than 40,000 medical staff to help hubei province, fully demonstrated this point.
the basic socialist economic system not only contributes to common prosperity, but also liberates and develops the productive forces. collective ownership of rural land guarantees the basic livelihood of farmers and prevents china from having the slums of many developing countries. making state-owned enterprises bigger and stronger is conducive to ensuring national economic security. distribution according to work as the main body, to protect the interests of workers. the co-development of multiple forms of ownership and the coexistence of multiple modes of distribution, as well as the socialist market economy system, can mobilize the enthusiasm of all sectors and stimulate the vitality of social development.
people - centered, can achieve common prosperity. development is for the people, development depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people. china's efforts to improve people's livelihood, especially targeted poverty alleviation, are among the best among developing countries. more than a billion people will soon be free from absolute poverty, which is a miracle in both chinese and world history. this is not possible in many developing countries, even developed countries.
we can select talents and cultivate more and more excellent talents. in china, the party is in charge of cadres, and the selection and appointment of cadres have always emphasized the importance of both moral integrity and talent, putting virtue first, and appointing people on their merits from all corners of the country. training and selection of cadres pay attention to the steps, performance and multi - post exercise. in particular, since the 18th national congress of the communist party of china (cpc), we have reviewed historical experience, made constant explorations and innovations in practice, and made more and more rigorous, scientific and accurate selection and appointment of personnel, thus cultivating and selecting a number of outstanding talents for the development of the cause of the party and the country.
in addition to the above-mentioned aspects, china's state system and governance system also show obvious advantages such as comprehensive rule of law, equality of all ethnic groups, common ideals and beliefs, reform and innovation, the party's command of guns, "one country, two systems", independence and unification with opening-up.
where the significant advantage comes from
china's national system and national governance system have significant advantages because of several important factors.
profound chinese cultural foundation. with a civilization of 5,000 years, the chinese nation has led the world for a long time. the ancient people have put forward a rich thought of governing the country, also carried out a series of effective systems, some governance ideas still have a great impact. the chinese communists have inherited and developed china's fine traditional culture and integrated it into the state system and governance system. for example, we should develop the vision of great harmony to bring happiness to the chinese people and rejuvenation to the chinese nation. to develop the people-centered thought into the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly and the people-centered development thought; to develop the tradition of unity into the principle of "one country, two systems" and peaceful reunification; to develop the thought of selecting talents and abilities into the principle of selecting cadres with morality as the first priority; to develop the idea of peace as the most precious into an independent foreign policy of peace; to develop the vision of universal harmony into the vision of building a community of shared future for mankind; and so on.
a profound summary of the lessons of history. in modern times, china fell behind and was invaded by western powers. in order to save the country and the nation in danger, countless people with lofty ideals and benevolent pursuit. after the defeat of the opium war, he realized that weapons were inferior to men. after that, they scrimped and saved, buying western-made ships and so on. but the first sino-japanese war, lost to japan. further reflection, realize that the system is inferior to people. since then, the reform movement of 1898 and the revolution of 1911 wanted to learn from the western system. the revolution of 1911 overthrew the monarchy, established the republic, and learned the form of the western system. china at that time was almost the most chaotic period in modern times. therefore, the chinese communist party is responsible for the country and nation, and no longer copies the western political system.
long time practice and exploration. chinese communists have been exploring state institutions and governance systems since the late 1920s, when they came to partial power. the party's leadership system, the government system, the judicial system, and the regional ethnic autonomy have been successfully practiced. at the beginning of the people's republic of china, a system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the communist party of china (cpc) was established. subsequently, through the socialist transformation of the ownership of the means of production, the dominant position of the public sector of the economy was established. since the reform and opening up, through the economic system reform, the chinese communists have formed such systems as the system of public ownership as the main body, the co-development of the economy under various forms of ownership, distribution according to work as the main body, the coexistence of various modes of distribution, and the socialist market economy. the party has also led the people in establishing a system of self-governance at the grassroots level and developing socialist democracy and the socialist rule of law. since the 18th national congress of the communist party of china (cpc), the cpc central committee with comrade xi jinping at its core has comprehensively deepened reform, improved and developed the system of socialism with chinese characteristics, and advanced the modernization of the country's governance system and capacity.
scientific guidance of marxism. in the process of exploring the state system and the state governance system, the chinese communists have always been guided by marxism and constantly innovated and developed the marxist state theory in practice. every innovation in the state system and governance system is inseparable from the scientific guidance of marxism-leninism, mao zedong thought, deng xiaoping theory, the important thought of three represents, the scientific outlook on development, and xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era.
the socialist nature of the state and the nature and purpose of the party are determined. to always represent the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, ensure the position of the people as masters of the country, embody the common will of the people, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people is the essential attribute of china's state system and governance system, and the fundamental difference between china and many countries, especially capitalist countries. from this perspective, we can see clearly the original intention of the establishment and development of china's national system and national governance system. , for instance, to ensure that the people through various channels and forms to manage state affairs according to law, manage economic and cultural undertakings and social affairs management, improve the social fairness and justice of the rule of law guarantee system, adhere to all the administrative organ to serve the people, responsible to the people, by the people's supervision, improve the people's cultural rights and interests protection system, to meet the people diverse needs, make the reform development achievement more fair benefit all the people, the precision for poverty alleviation and long-term mechanism to solve the relative poverty and so on, which embody the nature of the country and the nature and purpose of the communist party of china. how to better utilize significant advantages
china's national system and governance system have put up four beams and eight pillars, but they are not yet fully mature and finalized, and need to be further improved and developed. summed up the fourth plenary session of the party's 19th of 13 of the notable advantages, also points out the system construction of 13 uphold and improve, but the two "thirteen" is not one to one correspondence, in the administrative management system, ecological civilization system, the party and the state supervision system still exists many aspects such as short board, is not enough, there are many places in need of improvement.
for example, the socialist administrative system with chinese characteristics has been undergoing reform in recent years, especially since the 18th national congress of the communist party of china (cpc). the reform of party and state institutions has solved the problem of "water control in kowloon". the reform has greatly improved the attitude and efficiency of governments at all levels. the reform of "running at most once" has significantly increased the people's sense of gain. however, it is clear that there are still many problems in the administrative system, and we need to make more efforts.
in the past few years, the concept that clear waters and green mountains are mountains of gold and silver has gained wide popularity. great achievements have been made in pollution control and ecological environment protection. however, we are still far from meeting the expectations of the party and the people.
since the 18th national congress of the communist party of china (cpc), historic achievements have been made in comprehensively governing the party with strict discipline. the party's cohesion and fighting capacity have been greatly enhanced, its image in the eyes of the people has been significantly improved, and the party's institutional building, especially the reform of the discipline inspection and supervision system, has made rapid progress. however, from the anti-corruption to achieve the goal, there is still a considerable gap. cadres dare not corrupt the effect has been shown, can not corrupt depends on the power into the cage of the system, do not want to corrupt rely on long-term education reminder, let power in the sun, make power always subject to strict supervision and control. in this respect, we still have a long way to go and need to further strengthen the supervision system.
at the fourth plenary session of the 19th central committee of the communist party of china, there are a great number of tasks for improvement and development in each of the 13 aspects of adherence to and improvement. the plenum pointed out that we should focus on strengthening the foundation, strengthening strengths, strengthening weak links and strengthening weak areas, and building a system that is complete, scientific, standardized and effective. we should strengthen systematic, law-based, comprehensive and source governance to better translate china's institutional strengths into national governance. this shows that the fourth plenary session of the 19th central committee of the communist party of china not only stressed the confidence of the system, but also aimed to improve and develop the national system and governance system in all aspects, so as to provide a solid institutional guarantee for the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation.
the fourth plenary session of the 19th central committee of the communist party of china (cpc) has made arrangements for upholding and improving the socialist system with chinese characteristics and promoting the modernization of the country's governance system and capacity. we must, in accordance with the requirements of the plenum, earnestly strengthen our awareness of the system, uphold its authority, consciously respect, strictly implement and firmly uphold it. we should strengthen institutional theoretical research, publicity and education, fully understand the essential features and advantages of the socialist system with chinese characteristics, and strengthen institutional confidence. we need to perform our duties, exercise our powers and carry out our work in strict accordance with the system, and improve our ability and ability to advance the overall five-pronged integrated plan and the four-pronged comprehensive strategy. we need to comprehensively deepen reform, and work out urgently needed systems for modernizing the country's governance system and capacity, and systems that meet the people's new expectations for a better life.
