China’s political party system innovative

BEIJING: The information office of the State Council (Cabinet) of China has issued here the country’s first ever white paper on its political party system, which explains in detail the formation, main characteristics, basic contents and development of the system and its important role in China’s economic and social development.

“The political party system China has adopted is multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC),” says the white paper titled “China’s Political Party System”.

The paper says China’s multi-party cooperation system has passed a glorious history of 58 years.

As a basic political system of China, it has been proved through practice to be inevitable, innovative and superior.

The formation and development of the multi-party cooperation system was a logical choice of its modern and contemporary history, a product of the combination of Marxism-Leninism with China’s own situation, and a crystallisation of the wisdom of the CPC and other democratic parties, the paper says.

It reflects the fine cultural tradition of the Chinese nation, which features all-embracing and harmony while reserving differences, says the white paper. — Xinhua
