Democratic Oversight

Democratic oversight is the consultative scrutiny conducted, under the CPC's leadership and socialism with Chinese characteristics, by the CPPCC's participating political parties and members from different ethnic groups and sectors of society in line with the CPPCC Charter through such means as comments, criticisms, and suggestions. This is an important part of China's socialist system of oversight and a major way to promote socialist consultative democracy.

Democratic oversight, political consultation, and participation in and deliberation on the administration of state affairs differ from each other despite close links. The focus of democratic oversight is on the implementation of major guidelines, policies, decisions, and plans of the CPC and the state, and the aim is to help the Party and the government solve problems, be more effective, increase unity, build cohesion, and rally strength. The oversight is often conducted through meetings, inspections, proposals, and other channels.
