　　— — To develop socialist democratic politics, we must adhere to the organic unity of party leadership, people being masters of the country and governing the country according to law, and the most fundamental thing is to uphold party leadership. In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "the organic unity of upholding the leadership of the Party, the people being the masters of the country and governing the country according to law is an inevitable requirement for the development of socialist politics." The leadership of the Party is the fundamental guarantee for the people to be masters of the country and to govern the country according to law. Being masters of the country is the essential feature of socialist democratic politics, and governing the country according to law is the basic way for the party to lead the people to govern the country. The three are unified in the great practice of socialist democratic politics in China. Among them, the most fundamental thing is to uphold the leadership of the party. Since its founding, our Party has always held high the banner of people’s democracy. The establishment of People’s Republic of China (PRC) has achieved a great leap from thousands of years of feudal autocracy to people’s democracy in China. Since the reform and opening up, our Party has United and led the people to successfully open up and adhere to the road of political development in Socialism with Chinese characteristics and set the correct direction for realizing the broadest people’s democracy.

　　The most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, the greatest advantage of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, and the Party is the highest political leadership. Party, government, military and civilian studies, east, west, north and south, the party is the leader of everything.

　　To develop socialist democratic politics in the new era, we must take a clear-cut stand on politics and uphold the party’s leadership over all work. First of all, we must adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core. Centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee is the highest principle of the party’s leadership, which is fundamentally related to the future and destiny of the party and the country and the fundamental interests of the people.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the theme of all the theories and practices of the Party since the reform and opening up, and it is the fundamental achievement that the Party and the people have made through hardships and paid a huge price. The whole Party should be more conscious of enhancing its road confidence, theoretical confidence, institutional confidence and cultural confidence, neither taking the old road of being closed and rigid, nor taking the evil road of changing its flag, maintaining its political strength, persisting in prospering the country through hard work, and always persisting in and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

　　To strengthen Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s institutional self-confidence, we must first strengthen our confidence in Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s political system and enhance our confidence and determination to take the road of political development in Socialism with Chinese characteristics. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China that "the road of political development in Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the inevitable result of the historical logic, theoretical logic and practical logic of China people’s long-term struggle in modern times, and it is also the inevitable requirement of adhering to the essential attributes of the Party and practicing its fundamental purpose. There is no exactly the same political system model in the world. The political system cannot be judged abstractly without specific social and political conditions and historical and cultural traditions. It cannot be fixed in one respect and cannot mechanically copy foreign political system models. " In the second volume of The Supreme Leader’s Talks on Governing the Country, the book "Firmly Confident in Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s Political System" was included, which was part of the speech made by the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader at the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the National People’s Congress in September 2014.

　　China is a large developing country with a population of more than 1.3 billion and 56 nationalities. To plan and promote the construction of democratic politics, which is a fundamental and overall issue, we must strengthen institutional self-confidence, maintain political determination and adhere to the correct political development path. Practice has fully proved that China’s socialist democracy is the most extensive, authentic and effective democracy to safeguard people’s fundamental interests, and Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s political development path is the correct way to conform to China’s national conditions and ensure that people are masters of their own affairs.

We should learn from the beneficial achievements of human political civilization, but we will never copy the western political system model and never give up the foundation of our socialist political system. In the mode of political system, we just have to have the political determination to insist that the castle peak will not relax and let the east, west, north and south wind prevail.The people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China are fully confident and capable of giving full play to the advantages and characteristics of China’s socialist democracy and making contributions to the progress of human political civilization full of China’s wisdom.
