The organiza- tion consists of delegates from a range of political parties and organizations, as well as independent members, in China. The propor- tion of representation of the various parties From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference 1 is determined by established convention, ne- gotiated between the parties. In practice, the largest and dominant party in the Conference is the Communist Party of China. Other members are drawn from the United Front parties allied with the CPC, and from independent members who are not members of any party. While the Communist Party maintains a high level of control over the Conference, it is intended to be more representative and be composed of a broader range of people than is typical of government office in the People’s Republic of China. The National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (???????????????, shortened as ? ???, Quánguó Zhèngxié, i.e. "National PCC") typically holds a yearly meeting at the same time as plenary sessions of the National People’s Congress (NPC). Both CPPCC and NPC plenary sessions are often called the Li- anghui (The Two Meetings), making import- ant national level political decisions. A less common translation is "the Nation- al Congress". This translation is discour- aged, as it causes confusion with the Nation- al People’s Congress as well as with the Na- tional Congress of the Communist Party of China. History The Conference dated prior to the existence of People’s Republic of China. During negoti- ations between the Communist Party of Ch- ina and the Kuomintang in 1945, the two parties agreed to open multi-party talks on post-war political reforms via a Political Con- sultative Conference. This was included in the Double Ten Accord. This agreement was implemented by the National Government, who organised the first Political Consultative Assembly from January 10 - 31, 1946. Repres- entatives of the Kuomintang, Communist Party of China, Chinese Youth Party, and Ch- ina Democratic League, as well as independ- ent delegates, attended the conference in Chongqing. In 1949, with the Communist Party having gained control of most of mainland China, they organised a "new" Political Consultative Conference in September, inviting delegates from various friendly parties to attend and discuss the establishment of a new state. This conference was then renamed the People’s Political Consultative Conference. The first conference approved the Common Program, which served as the de facto Constitution for the next five years. The conference approved the new national anthem, flag, capital city, and state name, and elected the first govern- ment of the People’s Republic of China. In ef- fect, the first People’s Political Consultative Conference served as a constitutional convention. From 1949 to 1954, the conference be- came the de-facto legislature of the PRC. In 1954, the Constitution transferred this func- tion to the National People’s Congress. The present Since then, the CPPCC has not been formally included in the PRC Constitution. However, its role and powers are somewhat analogous to an advisory legislative upper house and there have been occasional proposals to formalize this role in the PRC Constitution. The People’s Political Consultative Daily The People’s Political Consultative Daily (??? ????) is the press window of information on direct policies and viewpoints of the CPPCC. Like most of the Chinese political organs, the newspaper serves as the mouthpiece and press for the conference. Compare with other governmental newspapers, such as The People’s Daily or The PLA Daily, The People’s Political Consultative Daily is not as hard line, but rather smooth in terms of wording. This is geared towards the nature of the or- ganization which many non-party members also participate in the conference.
