Abstract
The current democratic system in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is based on the political consultation and the people’s congress. In this system of indirect democracy, the key is to ensure that those in power are representing the people’s interests. Over the last thirty years, China has been exploring the pathway toward democracy, but a long road lies ahead. Currently, China needs to take substantial practical measures to guarantee people’s democratic rights, including the right to know, the right to speak, and the right to vote.
Highlights
Speaking, democracy with the rule of law is the developing trend in the world, and shuld be the goal for China, too
When considering China‟s history, cultural traditions, and social systems, it seems that the Chinese political system should follow a democratic model that has the people‟s congresse at its core, supported by a multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC)
In 2002, at the 16th National Congress, the CPC further elaborated on these requirements and specified the targets for building a country under the rule of law, and a new leadership transition was completed, which was based on the Constitution
Summary
Democracy with the rule of law is the developing trend in the world, and shuld be the goal for China, too. Over the last forty years, China has achieved a positive economic trajectory, and Chinese people‟s lives have improved. With this change, a growing need for democracy and rule of law has emerged. (Yu Keping, 2018: pp.15-17) the power of the state belongs to the people and can only be exercised by the people‟s congress or the people directly. Under this indirect democratic model, there are two paths to ensure that the people are the masters of their country. China should explore a practical pathway to achieve democracy based on people‟s rights: to know, speak, and vote
