Research On The Issue Of Representatives In The National Congress Of The Communist Party Of China

The National Congress of the CPC is a major political activity that determines the future and destiny of the party and the state.The system of the National Congress is the fundamental organization system of the CPC.In the historical process of the Communist Party of China,the previous National Congress not only witnessed the birth,growth,development and strengthening of the CPC,but also ensure the Chinese Communist Party to achieve new goals and win new victories,casting brilliant new guarantee in the future.Representatives are the main body of the National Congress.They create history with the political roles of participants and decision-makers,and they are also recorded in the history books.Since the first National Congress of the Party,the representatives have become an important political group and played an significant role at every important historical moment in the period of the new democratic revolution,the period of socialist construction,the period of reform and opening up and the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristic.In order to meet the needs of different historical environments and the changing tasks of revolutionary construction,the representatives of each National Congress of the Party have different structural characteristics and individual features at the micro level.More importantly,with the continuous strengthening of party building,the party’s fundamental organizational system-the National Congress system has been continuously improved,and the representative system has developed from scratch to existence,from simpleness to normalization and from singularity to systematicness.Moreover,as the the new great project of the Party building advances,the representative system also needs to be continuously improved and perfected to ensure that it is suited to the mission of the times.Examining the historical development of the representative problem and exploring the future trend of the construction of the representative system are the core issues of the thesis.The paper is divided into seven parts.The first part is an introduction,and the latter part is divided into 6 chapters.The introduction part mainly introduces and expounds the reason and significance of the research,the definition of concept,the historical data of the main literature,the situation of academic research,the research ideas and methods,the innovation points and the key and difficult points,etc.Chapter One will mainly study the representation from the first to the seventh National Congress.The seven congresses were held in the period of the New Democratic Revolution.This chapter is divided in to four sections according to the importance,the diversity of the representative system construction and the number of representatives.The First National Congress of the Communist Party is the starting point of the representation issue.They not only participated in the establishment of the early Party organization,but also created the Communist Party of China.During the first National Congress,they set up a model with their own actions for representatives to perform duties.The second National Congress is the beginning of the institutionalization of the representatives,where the workers’ representatives appeared for the first time,reflecting the attributes of the party’s vanguard of the working class.As a result of the small number of people,the representatives took on various roles at the Congress.During the third and fourth National Congresses,representative system began to materialize,and representatives from some regions was selected through the method of election,and the representatives engaged in fierce debates during the deliberations of the Congress over the issue of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party for the first time.Ideological differences began to emerge.In the face of the failure of the Great Revolution,the representatives went through the confusion at the time of the fifth National Congress and the hardships of the sixth National Congress.They reflected in the deep pain,cheered up in adversity,and opened up a new exploration of saving the nation from subjugation.By the time of the Seventh National Congress of the Party,the Communist Party of China had already set out its own path,with unprecedented unity of thinking of the whole party.Under such circumstances,the representatives of the Seventh National Congress,after several twists and turns,finally achieved a independent and unity Congress,which laid a solid foundation for the victory of the new democratic revolution and accumulated rich experience for the practice of representation.Chapter Two mainly discusses the representation from the Eighth National Congress to the Eleventh National Congress.The four congresses,held during the period of socialist construction,are elaborated according to different historical backgrounds.The Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China is the first national Congress of the Party since the founding of the people’s Republic of China and is the only one in the history of the Party Congress that has proposed the permanent tenure of the Congress.The representatives expressed themselves extensively at the Congress,fully exercised his right to vote,and made many far-reaching opinions and suggestions.During the "Cultural Revolution",the Ninth and the Tenth National Congress of the Party were deeply influenced by the "ultra left" trend of thought,and deviated from the correct track in terms of the selection of representatives,the structure of the representatives,and the performance of their duties.Although the Eleventh National Congress of the Party did not achieve the rectification,the representative system was initially restored.The setbacks experienced during this period precisely reflect the basic and fundamental role of the National Congress system of the Party,and have important implications for governing the Party in accordance with regulations.Chapter Three mainly discusses the representation of the Twelfth to the 15 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China(CPC).The four congresses were held in the early stage of reform and opening up,especially during the formation of Deng Xiaoping’s theory,with a unique historical background of rectifying chaos,realizing the normalization and standardization of inner-party life,and constantly strengthening party building.During this period,the representative system not only recovered,but also realized the development,especially the establishment of the inner-party election system,which made the mechanism of representative election more standardized.The standard for representatives’ advanced nature has been continuously enhanced.Alternate representatives have been cancelled,and specially invited representatives have been set up.The election process for Taiwan provincial representatives has become more standardized,and the proportion of party members and cadres in the representatives has generally tended to decline.The proportion of front-line representatives in production and work continued to increase,and the representative structure is more scientific and rational.The representative issue has entered a good period of development and perfection,and great progress both in terms of system construction and practice has beem made.Chapter Four mainly discusses the representation from the 16 th National Congress to 19 th National Congress.The constitution of the 16 th National Congress has made a new summary of the nature of the Party,and the nature of "two vanguards" has a profound impact on the structure of the Party members.Since the 16 th National Congress,the Central Committee has gradually absorbed the pilot experience of the local permanent system and explored ways to improve the construction of the representative system,to strengthen the ties betweeen representatives and the masses of party members and their role.The representative tenure system,which is the core of the standard representation problem,has been established.The conditions of representatives have kept pace with the times,Party members from the new social strata and new economic organizations began to enter the ranks of representatives,the process of representative election became more standardized,the differential voting disclosure displayed the new democratic style.Under the strategic plan of administering the party in an all-round and strict manner,the examination of representatives’ qualifications exerted its role in 19 th National Congress and conveyed a strong signal of strictness;The opening of "channels for party representatives" has also built a new platform for representatives to carry out their duties.Chapter Five mainly makes an outlook on the future trend of the representative system construction and the role of the representatives.After the socialist cause with Chinese characteristics entered a new era,the new great project of the Party construction began bear the heavy responsibility of providing strong organizational guarantee for the promotion of the great cause,the conduction of great struggle and the realization of the great dream.Against this background of the party situation,the representation needs to be based on the essential attributes of the basic,long-term and stable nature.Taking the overall strictness as the guide,the all around requirements of the party building in the new era as the principle,the certain norms of inner-party political life as the motive source,and the development of inner-party democracy as an important goal,we should deepen the construction of the representative system,maintain the basic stability of the representative structure,strengthen the requirements for the political quality of the representatives,boost the implementation of the representative proposal system,improve the training mechanism for representatives,set up a daily working institution for the coordination and contact with representatives during the intersessional period of the National Congress,and reinforce the role of representatives.
