Chapter 41 unswervingly promote the reform of the political system

Why do you keep calling for further reform of the political system? We say that Deng Xiaoping is great because his basic theory is reform and innovation.After he confirmed that the socialist model of the Soviet Union was not working, he started China's reform and opening up, boosted the economy, and created, built, and developed socialism with Chinese characteristics.Deng Xiaoping said that the final success of economic reform still depends on political reform.I think it makes sense.Therefore, we must actively and steadily promote the reform of the political system, first easy and then difficult, in four steps.This is what I clearly put forward in the third debate.The first step is to start with the reform of the government's administrative management system. Everyone has reached a consensus on this. In the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", the reform of the government's administrative management system is the primary task of the reform.Accelerate the transformation of government functions, promote the separation of government from enterprises, government affairs, government capital, and government and society, deepen the reform of the administrative approval system, and prevent approval from becoming a hotbed of administrative corruption.Improve public services and enhance the ability to serve the people.The second step is to develop inner-party democracy, improve the electoral system, expand competitive elections, improve the system for appointment and removal of cadres, establish a scientific system for democratic decision-making, and establish an effective supervision system.With regard to competitive elections, the nominations of party leaders at all levels can be expanded, and the upper and lower levels can be combined. Some candidates can be nominated by representatives, not all nominations by organizations. In this way, democracy will be expanded. To be responsible.The third step is the reform of public opinion organs, so that people's representatives can represent the will of voters.

The people's congresses at all levels have truly become the organs of power, the legislature, and the organs that supervise the government.To further play the role of the democratic parties, you must allow others to challenge you.Only in this way can we improve our ability to govern.The fourth step is to steadily promote social democracy and work towards constitutional democracy.First, direct elections at the village level, and gradually expand to the township level. County people's representatives can be elected by citizens of the entire county.In short, the reform of the political system can start with the construction of the ruling party's inner-party democratic system, drive the construction of democracy in the whole society, and finally realize constitutional democracy in our country.

Deng Xiaoping never opposed democracy, he just thought it was not good for people to take to the streets every day 365 days a day.Democracy requires a process. Democracy and the rule of law go hand in hand.Establishing a sound democratic system can effectively prevent the phenomenon of taking to the streets every day.Of course, the reform of the political system requires a process and cannot be rushed, so I will mention the easy ones before the difficult ones.The four-step approach is to do what is easy first.
