Chinese
Politics
China is a
country of many political parties. Apart from the CPC (Communist Party of
China), which is in power, China has eight non-Communist parties. Since
their founding, the latter have established cooperative relations with the CPC
to different extents.
The non-Communist parties responded to the call put
forward by the CPC to hold the Chinese People's Political Consultative
Conference (CPPCC), and participated in the First Plenary Session of the CPPCC
in September 1949 with the CPC and other democratic personages, at which the
Common Program was adopted as the provisional constitution, and the Central People's Government was elected and founded, hence the founding of the People's
Republic of China.

Since then, all the non-Communist parties have
earnestly participated in the consultations and decisions concerning important
issues in the state's political life; and many representatives of the
non-Communist parties have been elected deputies to the people's congresses and
members of the committees of the CPPCC at various levels.
Many members of
the non-Communist Parties hold leading posts on the standing committees of the
people's congresses, the committees of the CPPCC, government organs, and
economic, cultural, educational, scientific, and technological departments at
various levels.
The non-Communist parties of China are neither parties out
of office, nor opposition parties, but friendly parties that "coexist over
a long period of time, engage in mutual supervision, show utter devotion to each
other and share honor and disgrace, weal and woe" with the CPC. They
are parties participating in government and political affairs.
