The Communist Party of China (CPC) upholds democratic centralism, which is a close combination of democracy and centralism.
The CPC upholds intraparty democracy. Major decisions of the Party and the country are made after hearing opinions and suggestions from different aspects to make decisions scientifically, democratically and in accordance with law.
The Party exercises overall leadership and coordinates work in all areas. Under the CPC leadership, people's congresses, governments, supervisory, judicial, procuratorial and social organizations work together coordinately and enhance their ability.
How does the "democratic centralism" help solve real problems that matter to people's lives?
