The charter of CPPCC stipulates that the Chinese People's Political
Consultative Conference is a united front organization with wide
ranging representation. It is an important organ of multi-party
cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the
CPC.
The CPPCC is not a state organ and is outside the framework of
government. It also differs from conventional social organizations.
It takes the organizational form of the Chinese people's democratic
united front.
According to the principles of "long-term coexistence, mutual
supervision, sincere treatment of one another and the equal share
of weal or woe" between the CPC, other political parties and the
democrats with no party affiliations, the CPPCC is dedicated to
strengthening and improving the system of multi-party cooperation
and political consultation under the leadership of the CPC, giving
full play to the important role of other political parties and
democrats within the country's politics; conducting political
consultations on major state policies and important issues
concerning the well-being of the people and exercising democratic
supervision through proposals and criticisms.
The CPPCC has played a very significant role in building socialist
democratic politics, improving and strengthening the leadership of
the CPC, improving and supporting government's work, and improving
the democratic and scientific principles behind developing
important policies.
