Xi's Speech on Work of People's Congresses to Be Published

 March 1, 2022

BEIJING, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) — A speech by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, at a central conference on work related to people's congresses will be published.

The speech by Xi, also Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, will be published on Tuesday in this year's fifth issue of the Qiushi Journal, a flagship magazine of the CPC Central Committee.

The system of people's congresses is a good system that suits China's national conditions and realities, embodies the country's socialist character, and guarantees the people's principal position and national rejuvenation, the article says.

The system represents a monumental innovation in humanity's political history made by the Chinese people under the leadership of the CPC, the article says, stressing the importance of unwaveringly upholding and improving the system of people's congresses and related work.

Democracy is a common value of humanity. It is an ideal that has always been cherished by the CPC and the Chinese people, the article notes.

It goes on to say that democracy is not a decorative ornament but an instrument for addressing the issues that concern the people. Whether a country is democratic depends on whether its people are truly the masters of the country.

Democracy takes different forms, and there is no one-size-fits-all model, says the article.

China's whole-process people's democracy integrates process-oriented democracy with results-oriented democracy, procedural democracy with substantive democracy, direct democracy with indirect democracy, and people's democracy with the will of the state, the article says.

It is a model of socialist democracy that covers all aspects of the democratic process and all sectors of society. It is a true democracy that works, the article notes.
