Whole-process people's democracy delivers real benefits to the nation: China Daily editorial

《中国日报》社论:全过程的人民民主给国家带来了实实在在的好处

The democratic system in China is not the same as that in the West. Democracy with Chinese characteristics is whole-process people's democracy and despite the so-called Western democracies' claims to the contrary it is a model of democracy that has proved its effectiveness and worth time and again.By avoiding the fierce conflicts of interests of different groups and the protracted bargaining to arrive at decisions common in the West the whole- process people's democracy in China which is based on the system of people's congresses extensively promotes people's participation throughout the whole process of decision-making and policymaking at various levels.

中国的民主制度与西方的不一样。中国特色的民主是全过程的人民民主，尽管所谓的西方民主国家声称与之相反，但它是一种民主模式，一次又一次地证明了它的有效性和价值。中国以人民代表大会制度为基础的全过程人民民主，避免了西方普遍存在的不同群体之间激烈的利益冲突和旷日持久的讨价还价，广泛推动人民参与决策全过程和各级决策。
