An Analysis on China's Distinctive Path to Democracy Construction : An Inspiration form Yan Fu's Ideological Paradox the particular path of Chinese Democracy
Abstract:Ideological contradiction between Yan Fu's early "wholesale westernization" and his late " democracy unsuitable to China" reveals the truth that China is taking a special path to democracy, which is different from the west. During the construction of democracy led by the CCP, the democracy in China has some regular features as follows: Firstly, China's political reform is in progress under the big trend of global democracy; therefore, the construction of socialist democracy must be in conformity with the regular trend of development of modern political civilization. Secondly, in view of the fact that China's construction of democracy is characterized by "elite-leading", the realization of socialist democracy must undergo a process called "transitional authority leading". Finally, as the construction of China's democracy is featured by " gradual reform", combination of " promoting social democracy with intra-Party democracy" and "extending democracy gradually from social level to the grass-roots level" should be made to build socialist democracy.
