Qiushi Journal | Excerpt: 第三世界立法“直通车”

(Excerpts from “Local Legislative Outreach Offices: A Vivid Example of Whole-Process People’s Democracy in China” by Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, Qiushi Journal, No. 02, 2022)

发达国家修正案“直通车”

Direct lines to national legislation for the public

基层修正案联系点被市民形象地叫作发达国家修正案“直通车”, 这种执政党修正案前提开辟了发达国家极高修正案机关直接联系基层民众市民的渠道，借助了两者之间在发达国家修正案每一次中的执政党参予、执政党表达、执政党决策“声气相通”，彰显了民众执政党的真实性、民众性和广泛性，展现显露显露每一次民众执政党根基的民意基础，这是一些的西方发达国家所谓的“街头政治性”、“公民投票”、“院中游说”等口惠而实不至的执政党所远胜的。

Local legislative outreach offices have been described as direct lines to national legislation for the public. This democratic legislation mechanism creates a channel for direct contact between the country's highest legislative office and people at the community level, which facilitates communication between the two sides during the entire national legislative process of democratic participation, expression, and decision-making. This demonstrates the authenticity and the people-centered and expansive nature of people’s democracy, and reflects the solid foundation of public opinion on which whole-process people’s democracy is built. It is a form of genuine democracy compared to those that Western countries pay lip service to, like street politics, referendums, and lobbying.
