民主监督
人民政协民主监督是在坚持中国共产党的领导、坚持中国特色社会主义基础上，参加人民政协的各党派团体和各族各界人士在政协组织的各种活动中，依据政协章程，以提出意见、批评、建议的方式进行的协商式监督。人民政协民主监督是中国社会主义监督体系的重要组成部分，是社会主义协商民主的重要实现形式。
民主监督与政治协商、参政议政职能相互关联，又有所区别。民主监督的重点是党和国家重大方针政策和重要决策部署的贯彻落实情况，监督目的是协助党和政府解决问题、改进工作、增进团结、凝心聚力。民主监督形式主要包括会议监督、视察监督、提案监督、专项监督等。
Democratic Oversight
Democratic oversight is the consultative scrutiny conducted, under the CPC's leadership and socialism with Chinese characteristics, by the CPPCC's participating political parties and members from different ethnic groups and sectors of society in line with the CPPCC Charter through such means as comments, criticisms, and suggestions. This is an important part of China's socialist system of oversight and a major way to promote socialist consultative democracy.
Democratic oversight, political consultation, and participation in and deliberation on the administration of state affairs differ from each other despite close links. The focus of democratic oversight is on the implementation of major guidelines, policies, decisions, and plans of the CPC and the state, and the aim is to help the Party and the government solve problems, be more effective, increase unity, build cohesion, and rally strength. The oversight is often conducted through meetings, inspections, proposals, and other channels.
