Abstract: The whole-process people's democracy, as a major political concept proposed by the Communist Party of China in the new era, is an important innovation in the field of democratic politics that summarizes the political practices of socialist democracy. It sets out the overarching guideline for further promoting socialist democracy. The wholeprocess people's democracy inherits and develops the core values and basic principles of the Marxist theory of democracy. It reflects the new changes in the principal contradictions facing Chinese society, adapts to the new requirements of democratic political construction, and embodies the new practices of the modernization of national governance. It is an important content for realizing the Chinesestyle modernization. To develop and improve the wholeprocess people's democracy, in principle, we shall preserve the organic unity of Party leadership, the running of the country by the people, and lawbased governance. In terms of pathways, we shall correctly handle the relationship between intraparty democracy and people's democracy to improve the system for the whole-process people's democracy, adhere to democratic centralism and maintain a peoplecentred mindset. Finally, it is necessary to achieve a balance between democratic ideals and democratic realities, maintain a consistency between democratic principles and democratic systems, and make sure that democratic innovation and democratic experience are integrated, and democratic competition and democratic contribution facilitate each other.

Key words: the whole-process people's democracy, the Communist Party of China, the concept of democracy, institutional construction
