The 12th Issue of the Jisi Forum--Wang Jianguo: Why China Must Adhere to the New Political Party System

(Correspondent: Feng Lianjun Auditor: Tu Airong) On the afternoon of June 27, the twelfth phase of the Jisi Lecture (online) was successfully held. A special report entitled Why China must adhere to the new political party system: a comparative perspective. The forum was chaired by Professor Tu Airong, deputy dean of the Marxist school, and all the teachers and students of the Marxist school and the teachers and students of the new era ideological and political gold course alliance unit attended the meeting.

Professor Wang Jianguo first analyzed the three logical premises of the Western political party system: First, from the perspective of genetics, the multi-party or two-party representative democracy in the western developed countries was born before the political party, and the political party is only the result or tool of democratic development There is no structural danger to the rotation of political parties for the national system; China’s logic is different from the West. Political parties exist before the state, and national power is unified under the leadership of the ruling party. The relationship model of the ruling party, the structure of the ruling party and the structure of the country and the government have shown the same structure. The rotation of political parties has structural risks. The second is from the perspective of the value concept. In the mature two-party or multi-party system in the West, mainstream political parties share a common value concept, that is, ideological identification. Once there is a lack of inspiration and cohesion of the country’s core values, the country will be in a state of mental dissipation, and a multi-competitive democracy cannot exist. Third, from the perspective of political culture, the foundation of Western democracy is a political culture of tolerance and compromise. Political compromise is an endogenous and inevitable political phenomenon in the Western political system. It is a political spirit naturally developed under the system; the Chinese have almost no compromise culture in the political field, especially the one and many The unification, centralization and decentralization of unification led to the construction of a modern country that requires the maintenance and consolidation of a pluralistic and integrated pattern.

Secondly, on how to overcome the Huntington problem in the process of modernization, Professor Wang Jianguo believes that only by further integrating forces and resources, grasping key areas, and surpassing in catching up, can the Chinese nation stand in the forest of nations in the world On the contrary, the key to overcoming this problem is to give play to the party's advantage of centralized and unified leadership-adhere to the new political party system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.

Finally, Professor Wang Jianguo pointed out that the new political party system is the political advantage of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest political advantage for realizing the rule of China, combining various cases from ancient and modern times.

Professor Wang Jianguo analyzed the formation logic, practical conditions and scope of application of the Chinese and foreign political party systems, and explained the necessity and importance of the new political party system. The whole report was clear in context, rigorous logic, and rich in content. It provides new ideas and new inspirations for teaching and research work.
