On March 10, the second session of the 14th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee concluded, marking a significant moment as the CPPCC approaches its 75th anniversary in 2024.
To commemorate this milestone, China Global Television Network (CGTN) is presenting an hour-long special program that delves into the key roles the CPPCC has played over the past decades. The program explores the characteristics and advantages of China’s whole-process people’s democracy, offering insights into how this system has contributed to the nation’s political and social development.
Since its founding in 1949, the CPPCC has served as a crucial advisory body in China’s political landscape, fostering multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. It brings together representatives from various social sectors, ethnic groups, and regions to participate in state affairs, embodying the principles of inclusiveness and broad participation.
The special program highlights the CPPCC’s contributions to policy-making, social harmony, and national unity. By reviewing historical moments and achievements, it sheds light on how the CPPCC has evolved to meet the needs of a changing society while maintaining its core mission of promoting democratic consultation and consensus-building.
The concept of whole-process people’s democracy emphasizes the participation of citizens in every aspect of governance, from decision-making to implementation and supervision. This approach aims to ensure that the voices of the people are heard and considered at all levels, reflecting China’s commitment to democratic principles tailored to its national context.
As the CPPCC celebrates 75 years, this retrospective offers an opportunity to appreciate its role in shaping modern China and to look forward to its continued contributions in the years ahead.
