¡¡¡¡Democracy is a common value of humanity and an ideal that has always been cherished by the Communist Party of China£¨CPC£©and the Chinese people.¡¡¡¡This year marks the centenary of the CPC. Since its founding in 1921£¬ the Party has taken wellbeing for the Chinese people and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as its abiding goals£¬ and has made continuous efforts to ensure the people's status as masters of the country. China is a country with a feudal history dating back several thousand years that descended into a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society after the Opium War of 1840. Over the past hundred years£¬ the Party has led the people in realizing people's democracy in China. The Chinese people now truly hold in their hands their own future and that of society and the country.¡¡¡¡The people's status as masters of the country is the essence of people's democracy. Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012£¬ with a deeper understanding of China's path to democracy and the political system£¬ the Party has developed whole-process people's democracy as a key concept and striven to translate it and relevant democratic values into effective institutions and concrete actions.
