堅持和完善中國共產黨領導的多黨合作和政治協商制度

The System of Multiparty Cooperation and Political Consultation Under CPC Leadership

長期共存、互相監督、肝膽相照、榮辱與共

Long-term coexistence, mutual oversight, sincerity, and sharing the rough times and the smooth

會議協商、約談協商、書面協商

forums, talks, and written and other forms of consultation

中國共產黨領導的多黨合作和政治協商制度，真實、廣泛、持久代表和實現最廣大人民根本利益、全國各族各界根本利益，有效避免了舊式政黨制度代表少數人、少數利益集團的弊端；把各個政黨和無黨派人士緊密團結起來、為著共同目標而奮斗，有效避免了一黨缺乏監督或者多黨輪流坐莊、惡性競爭的弊端；通過制度化、程序化、規范化的安排集中各種意見和建議、推動決策科學化民主化，有效避免了舊式政黨制度囿于黨派利益、階級利益、區域和集團利益決策施政導致社會撕裂的弊端。

The system of multiparty cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the CPC is an extensive and reliable means of representing and fulfilling the interests of the maximum number of people of all ethnic groups and social sectors. It avoids the drawbacks of the old political party system that stood for only a small number of people and interest groups. It unites all political parties and the non-affiliates towards a common goal, effectively mitigating the risks of inadequate oversight in one-party rule, and the problems of continual transfers of governing parties and destructive competition in multiparty political systems. Through standardized institutional procedures and arrangements, it pools ideas and suggestions to ensure informed and democratic decision-making. It avoids the weakness of Western-style political party systems: When making decisions and exercising governance, political parties act in their own interests or the interests of the classes, regions and groups they represent, provoking division in society.

鞏固和發展最廣泛的愛國統一戰線

Broad Patriotic United Front

統一戰線是中國共產黨凝聚人心、匯集力量的重要法寶。

The united front is an important structure through which the CPC earns popular support and pools strengths.

在人民民主實踐中，中國共產黨始終把統一戰線擺在重要位置，堅持大團結大聯合，堅持一致性和多樣性相統一，統籌做好民主黨派和無黨派人士工作、黨外知識分子工作、民族工作、宗教工作、非公有制經濟領域統戰工作、新的社會階層人士統戰工作、港澳臺統戰工作、海外統一戰線工作和僑務工作，團結一切可以團結的力量、調動一切可以調動的積極因素，廣泛凝聚共識，尋求最大公約數、畫出最大同心圓，不斷促進政黨關系、民族關系、宗教關系、階層關系、海內外同胞關系和諧，最大限度凝聚起中華民族一切智慧和力量。

In practicing people's democracy, the Party has always placed the united front in an important position, striving to achieve great unity and solidarity and balance commonality and diversity. The Party has made coordinated efforts to unite the other political parties, the non-affiliates, intellectuals who are not CPC members, members of ethnic minorities and religious groups, people working in non-public sectors, people belonging to new social groups, compatriots in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and overseas Chinese and returned Chinese nationals. It has combined all the forces that can be united and mobilized all positive factors to build a broad consensus, expand common ground, and achieve convergence of interests. In order to pool the wisdom and strength of the Chinese nation to the full, it has systematically promoted harmonious relations between political parties, between ethnic groups, between religions, between social groups and between Chinese people at home and overseas.

堅持和完善民族區域自治制度

The System of Regional Ethnic Autonomy

民族區域自治制度，是指在國家統一領導下，各少數民族聚居的地方實行區域自治，設立自治機關，行使自治權的制度。

The system of regional ethnic autonomy means that areas with large ethnic minority populations can practice regional autonomy, establish autonomous organs, and exercise the power of self-government under the unified leadership of the state.

中國實行民族區域自治，以領土完整、國家統一為前提和基礎，體現了統一與自治的結合、民族因素與區域因素的結合，完全符合中國國情和實際。

Territorial integrity and national unification are preconditions and foundations for regional ethnic autonomy, which combines unification with autonomy and ethnic factors with regional factors, and are thoroughly suited to China's realities.

實行民族區域自治，從制度和政策層面保障了少數民族公民享有平等自由權利 以及經濟、社會、文化權利。

Regional ethnic autonomy provides institutional and policy guarantees to ensure that ethnic minority citizens enjoy rights to equality and freedom, and to economic, social and cultural services.

民族區域自治制度，極大增強了各族人民當家作主的自豪感責任感，極大調動了各族人民共創中華民族美好未來、共享中華民族偉大榮光的積極性主動性創造性。

The system of regional ethnic autonomy has greatly increased the sense of pride and responsibility of people of all ethnic groups and stimulated their enthusiasm, initiative and

creativity in jointly steering the course to a bright future.

堅持和完善基層群眾自治制度

The System of Community-Level Self-Governance

中國實行以村民自治制度、居民自治制度和職工代表大會制度為主要內容的基層群眾自治制度，人民群眾在基層黨組織的領導和支持下，依法直接行使民主權利，實現自我管理、自我服務、自我教育、自我監督，有效防止了人民形式上有權、實際上無權的現象。

China applies a system of community-level self-governance represented by villagers autonomy, urban residents autonomy, and employees congresses. Under the leadership and support of community-level Party organizations, local residents directly exercise the democratic right to manage their own affairs by serving the community, undertaking self-education, and exercising public scrutiny. This effectively ensures that the people's rights are genuinely respected.

Democratic Decision-Making

在中國，察民情、聽民聲、順民意，群策群力、集思廣益成為常態，越來越多來自基層的聲音直達各級決策層，越來越多的群眾意見轉化為黨和政府的重大決策。

In China, the standard practice is to hear people's voices, act on their needs, and pool their ideas and strength. More and more ideas and suggestions of the general public are flowing directly to decision-makers at all levels, and they are increasingly reflected in the major decisions of the Party and the government.
