CGTN | Whole-Process People’s Democracy

March 09 , 2023

 

Democracy is one of mankind’s greatest achievements. In 2019, China introduced the concept of “whole-process people’s democracy,” which not only means that people engage in democratic elections, but they’re also involved in consultations, decision-making, management and oversight. But how does that work in real life? How does China conduct consultative democracy at all levels? Why is consultation an important part of China’s democratic system?

Guests in this episode are Wang Huiyao, president of the Center for China and Globalization, who was also a former councilor to China’s State Council, and Dr. Victor Gao Zhikai, chair professor of Soochow University.
