Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference

The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) is an organization of the Chinese people's patriotic united front, serving as a key mechanism for multiparty cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the CPC. The CPPCC plays a major role in promoting socialist democracy and whole-process people's democracy in China. It is an important channel and specialized body for socialist consultative democracy, a key component of the state governance system, and a distinctively Chinese political institution. Unity and democracy are the two major themes of the CPPCC.

The CPPCC has national and local committees. Their working principles are: 

• upholding the CPC's leadership;

• adhering to the nature of the CPPCC; 

• forging great unity and solidarity; 

• advancing socialist democracy. 

Their main functions are: 

• engaging in political consultation; 

• exercising democratic oversight; 

• participating in and deliberating on the administration of state affairs.
