Five Dimensions of the Whole-Process People’s Democracy

From the theoretical dimension, the whole-process people’s democracy is an innovative form of the people’s democracy theory, a major theoretical innovation of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on socialist political construction in the new era, and a contemporary exemplification of Marxist theory of people’s democracy. From the historical dimension, it is a brand-new issue proposed by the CPC in summarizing experience of democratic practice over the past century. From the realistic dimension, it reflects not only an urgent need to build a great modern socialist country in all respects, and achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but also a realistic need to innovate international communication discourse of China’s model of democracy. From the cultural dimension, it is rooted in fine traditional Chinese culture, and has creatively developed such important ideas as putting people first, aspiring for the common good, mutual understanding and inclusiveness. From the institutional dimension, it is supported by a solid macroscopic institutional system, as well as an ever-improving specific operating mechanism, and people’s recognition of these systems is constantly growing. An in-depth study of the generative logic of these five dimensions of the whole-process people’s democracy is of great theoretical significance and practical value for advancing the cause of people’s democracy in the new era, and maintaining firm confidence in staying on the path of socialist political advancement with Chinese characteristics.
