The article emphasizes that to strengthen and improve the work of the CPPCC in the new era, we must be guided by the socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era, strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidence", and achieve the "two safeguards". Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the main axis of consolidating the common ideological and political foundation, and serving the realization of the "two centenary" goals is the main line of work, we should take strengthening ideological and political guidance and broad consensus building as the central link, adhere to the two major themes of unity and democracy, improve the level of political consultation, democratic supervision, and participation in and discussion of state affairs, and better build consensus, shoulder the political responsibility of implementing the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the work requirements of the CPPCC, and gather the wisdom and strength of the Chinese people at home and abroad, To contribute to the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist power.
The article pointed out that the People's Political Consultative Conference is a great achievement of the Communist Party of China's integration of Marxist-Leninist united front theory, party theory, and democratic political theory with China's reality. It is the leadership of the Communist Party of China. A great creation in the political system. Over the past 70 years, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the CPPCC has adhered to the two major themes of unity and democracy, served the central tasks of the party and the country, and played a very important role in the establishment of a new China and various historical periods of socialist revolution, construction, and reform.
The article points out that since the 18th CPC National Congress, we have summed up our experience and put forward a series of new requirements for the work of the CPPCC. The first is to strengthen the Party's leadership over the work of the CPPCC. The second is to accurately grasp the nature of the CPPCC. The third is to give full play to the role of the special consultative body of the CPPCC. Fourth, adhere to and improve China's new political party system. Fifth, the broad cohesion of people and strength. Sixth, focus on the central tasks of the party and the state to fulfill their duties. Seven is to adhere to the CPPCC for the people. The eighth is to promote the construction of the ability to perform duties in the spirit of reform and innovation. Practice has proved that the CPPCC system has many unique advantages.
The article points out that under the new situation, we must adhere to the CPPCC system, develop the CPPCC cause, strengthen the responsibility of carrying out the United front work, and unite more people around the party. At present and for some time to come, the CPPCC should, in particular, do the following work well. First, give full play to the role of the CPPCC's special consultative body. Under China's socialist system, it is the true meaning of people's democracy to have something to discuss and everyone's affairs to be discussed by everyone, and to find the greatest common divisor of the wishes and demands of the whole society. To develop socialist deliberative democracy, we must make good use of the advantages of democratic centralism, carry forward the fine tradition of "unity-criticism-unity", open up a wide range of words, brainstorm, promote the full expression and in-depth exchange of different ideas and views, and achieve mutual respect and equality. Consult without imposing on others, follow the rules, negotiate in an orderly manner without saying each other, be considerate, inclusive, sincere and not extreme and bigoted, it is also rational and reasonable, legal and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the good atmosphere of consultation. Second, strengthen ideological and political guidance and broadly build consensus. Through effective work, the CPPCC should strive to become an important position for upholding and strengthening the party's leadership over all kinds of work, an important platform for uniting, educating and guiding representatives of all ethnic groups and all walks of life with the party's innovative theory, and an important channel for resolving contradictions and building consensus on a common ideological and political basis. To correctly deal with the relationship between consistency and diversity. Third, strengthen the responsibility of the committee. The majority of CPPCC members must adhere to the feelings of performing their duties for the country and the people, keep their careers in mind, shoulder their responsibilities, and earnestly perform their duties as committee members. Their political positions must not be vague and political principles must not be shaken.
