Spokesperson's Remarks｜Two sessions are a vivid practice of China's whole-process people's democracy

The two sessions are a vivid practice of China's whole-process people's democracy, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular press conference in Beijing on Wednesday.

The two sessions just came to a conclusion in China. Many in the international community said the two sessions is a window for the rest of the world to understand China's whole-process people's democracy. China's democratic practice leads to a political path different from that of Western countries, and provides valuable experience and inspiration to the world, especially Global South countries.

Mao said that this year's two sessions have brought together nearly 3,000 NPC deputies and over 2,000 CPPCC members from diverse backgrounds who represent people's voice on the top-level platform for the deliberation of state affairs and integrate people's aspiration into the top design of national development. Nearly 4,000 suggestions and over 2 million online opinions were solicited for the draft of the Report on the Work of the Government, with the aim of most extensively pooling collective wisdom and representing people's will. After the two sessions were concluded, government departments will comprehensively implement tasks after listening to public opinion and having consultation. 

Mao noted that democracy is a common value of humanity and the right of people of all countries. Whole-process people's democracy is the model of democracy in its broadest, most genuine, and most effective form. It is the people's democracy most suitable for China's national conditions and has made important contributions for enriching humanity's political civilization. (By Ma Ziqian/China Youth Daily)
