廣泛真實管用的民主

Democracy That Works

人民當家作主，具體地、現實地體現在黨治國理政的政策措施上，具體地、現實地體現在黨和國家機關各個方面各個層級工作上，具體地、現實地體現在實現人民對美好生活向往的工作上。

In practice, the principle of the people being masters of the country is manifested in the Party's governance policies and measures, in all aspects of the work of Party and state organs at all levels, and in the efforts to meet the people's expectation for a better life.

民主的陽光照耀中華大地，中國人民享有廣泛充分、真實具體、有效管用的民主。

社會和諧穩定

Social Stability and Harmony

好的民主，應凝聚社會共識，而不是造成社會撕裂和沖突；應維護社會公平正義，而不是導致社會階層和利益固化；應保持社會穩定有序，而不是帶來混亂和動蕩；應讓社會充滿向美向善向上的正能量，而不是充斥假惡丑的負能量。

A good model of democracy should build consensus rather than creating social rifts and conflicts, safeguard social equity and justice rather than widening social disparities in favor of vested interests, maintain social order and stability rather than causing chaos and turmoil, and inspire positivity and appreciation of the good and the beautiful rather than instigating negativity and promoting the false and the evil.

Powerful countries should behave as befits their status, make the future of humanity their priority, and shoulder greater responsibility for world peace and development, rather than wielding their power in pursuit of supremacy or hegemony.
