Xi: Enhance multiparty bonds
The system is an integration of Marxist theory and China's reality, aiming for fundamental benefits for the widest range of people and avoiding the disadvantages of an old political party system that presents the interests of a small group of people, Xi said.
Under the Chinese system, all political parties and those without any party affiliation are united in striving for the same goals — avoiding such situations as a single party without supervision or the vicious competition and rotating governance inherent in other systems, he said.
The system makes a great contribution to the political civilization of mankind, since it's not only suitable for China's reality but also accords with nation's excellent traditional culture of selflessness and inclusiveness, Xi said.
He said the CPC has attached great importance to multiparty cooperation, and the CPC-led multiparty cooperation and political consultative system not only highlights the Party's leadership but also stresses socialist democracy.
Xi called for the non-Communist parties to remain true to the original aspiration of building the multiparty cooperation system, maintain their determination to practice socialism with Chinese characteristics and build, develop and improve China's socialist political party system.
