China has a unique political system led by the Chinese Communist Party that cooperates with eight other minor parties. The CCP consults with these parties and allows them participation in government affairs and policy discussions, though the CCP maintains ultimate authority. The system aims to balance stability, rapid economic development, and public participation through institutions like the National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Official media is state-owned and expected to align with party messaging.

What does China's Political System refer?

4. China's Preeminent Political Institution
The main political structure of the PRC is comprised of four institutions:
1. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP),headed by the Party Politburo and its
Standing Committee.
2. The state government(State, or Government) apparatus, headed by
the Premier who presides over the State Council, a de-facto cabinet.
3. The National People’s Congress (NPC) is China’s unicameral legislative
body and, according to the constitution, the ultimate power of the
Chinese government.
4. The People’s Liberation Army According to some analysts, the People=s
Liberation Army (PLA) is as crucial to Chinese politics as the Party and the
Government.

5. Relationships Among Leaders
• While systems of power in China appear distinct, many in China's
central leadership wear multiple hats, holding positions
concurrently in all three systems—
1. the Party,
2. the Government,
3. and the Military.
• This adds to the difficulty of knowing more about the process of
PRC decision making. In addition, even supreme decision making
bodies at the highest level are hierarchical on an informal level;
their members are not necessarily of equal status, but hold
authority and influence derived from a range of intangible factors
apart from their actual position.

6. ✓ China has a unique multi-party cooperation system. The country is
led by the CPC, which cooperates with eight other parties to
discuss and manage state affairs.
✓ The Chinese system differs both from the pluralist party systems
common in the West, and one-party systems in use elsewhere. In
short, it’s a political system with Chinese characteristics.
✓ Although eight other minor parties exist,they are not allowed to
challenge CPC policy.
✓ The National Committee of the CPPCC typically meets once every
year in Beijing as part of the Two Sessions.
✓ With just one political party ,there is more cohesive legislation,
allowing China's government to react quickly to market trends.
How does China’s political system work?

7. 1. First, the CPC consults the other eight political parties on major
principles, policies and issues, and they supervise each other.
2. Second, members of the eight parties hold posts in central and local
governments, as well as judicial organs.
3. Third, governments at various levels cooperate with the eight
parties, allowing them to participate in and deliberate on
administrative affairs.
4. Fourth, the eight parties participate in consultation on major state
issues through the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference
(CPPCC), a political advisory body under the leadership of the CPC.
What does this mean in practice?

8. What are the benefits of the system?
• Under the one-party system China could formulate a long-term plan for
national development and ensure stabilization of its policies without
being affected by the alternation of parties with different positions and
ideologies.
• China’s political system encourages parties, organizations, and
representatives from various circles of Chinese society to discuss basic
policy as well as important political, economic, cultural and social issues.
• Every year, the CPPCC receives thousands of policy proposals from
members. Last year, among the 5,769 suggestions, 4,279 were put on
record and 42 marked as key proposals.

9. The Constitution of the People's Republic of China is nominally
the supreme law of the People's Republic of China. It was adopted by
the 5th National People's Congress on December 4, 1982, with further
revisions about every five years. It is the fourth constitution in the
country's history, superseding the 1954 constitution, the 1975
constitution, and the 1978 constitution.
Though technically the "supreme legal authority" and "fundamental
law of the state", the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a
documented history of violating many of the constitution's provisions
and censoring calls for greater adherence to it.

10. Modern Media
All official media publications are in some way state owned or state
controlled. The numbers of journalists arrested or publications closed
down has increased.
Investigative journalism has also increased. In December 2014, Liu
Tienan, a former top economic official was jailed on bribery charges
originally alleged by a Chinese journalist.

11. In terms of the identified indicators, there is no independence among the
government and political institutions. But, the CCP decides rationally for
the purpose of achieving its goal and maintaining its authority allowing
greater participation from the masses. The social cost of rapid economic
growth is addressed through reforms in social security and building a
“harmonious society”. In general, China is politically stable based on the
identified indicators.
