　　The China National Democratic Construction Association

　　The China National Democratic Construction Association (CNDCA) is a political party composed mainly of people from economic circles, and characteristic of a political alliance. It is a political party devoted to building socialism with Chinese characteristics, and one of the parties playing a role in state affairs in the system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation led by the Communist Party of China (CPC).

　　The CNDCA’s political program at the present stage is to hold high the great banner of Deng Xiaoping Theory, study and implement the important thought of the“Three Represents,”* actively participate in the deliberation and administration of state affairs and democratic supervision, develop the social productive forces following the basic line for the primary stage of socialism in China, promote socialist democracy, and popularize China’s advanced culture, and devote all efforts to build China into a strong, prosperous, democratic and culturally advanced modern socialist country.

　　The CNDCA’s tasks at the present stage are, focusing on the objective of building a well-off society in an all-round way and bringing into full play its advantages of close ties with economic circles, to take an active part in the socialist modernization drive; to conduct research into important issues connected with the reform and opening-up, economic construction and social stability, so as to represent the opinions of the general public, offer proposals and suggestions, and play a better role as a party participating in state affairs; and to contribute its due efforts to the acceleration of the modernization drive, the attainment of national reunification, the maintenance of world peace, and the promotion of common development.

　　The CNDCA has been honored with a patriotic, revolutionary history. It has, over the decades, established the fine traditions of loving the motherland and socialism, accepting the leadership of the CPC and persisting in self-education, and acquired the historical characteristics of maintaining close relations with economic circles. On December 16, 1945, the CNDCA was founded in Chongqing with a membership drawn from among patriotic industrialists and businessmen, as well as intellectuals who had ties with the industrial and commercial sector. The founders were Huang Yanpei, Hu Juewen, Zhang Naiqi, Shi Fuliang, Sun Qimeng and so on. Immediately after its foundation, the CNDCA began to take an active part in the new-democratic revolution. In 1948, it responded to the“May 1”call of the CPC for convening a People’s Political Consultative Conference and establishing a democratic coalition government. The CNDCA sent representatives to the Liberated Areas to join in the preparations for the conference. In September 1949, the CNDCA delegates attended the First Plenary Session of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), at which the Common Program of the CPPCC was enacted and the Central People’s Government elected, making contributions to the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

　　After the founding of New China, the CNDCA formulated the political line of accepting CPC leadership and serving socialism, and participated in the work of the People’s Government and the CPPCC, playing an important role in consolidating the people’s democratic dictatorship, rehabilitating and developing the economy -- especially in transforming Chinese society from new democracy to socialism, and acting in concert with the state in the socialist transformation of capitalist industry and commerce and the establishment of the socialist system.

　　Since the inauguration of the new period of reform, opening-up and modernization, the CNDCA organizations at all levels and their members have unremittingly followed the basic line for the primary stage of socialism in China, adhered to the guideline of“long-term coexistence, mutual supervision, sincere treatment with each other and the sharing of weal and woe”governing the relationship between the CPC and non-Communist parties; actively exercised its function of participating in managing and supervising state affairs; and played an increasingly significant role in participating in the government, deliberating on major state policies and the choice of state leaders, managing state affairs, and formulating and enforcing state guidelines, policies, laws and statutes. In recent years, in particular, the CNDCA has organized human and other resources for investigation and research into important issues of economic construction and social development, and offered a plethora of important opinions and suggestions on economic planning, the development of the western region, the promotion of venture capital, the reform and expansion of state-run enterprises, agricultural issues, reemployment of laid-off workers, entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), the fight against corruption and for a clean government, and the promotion of multi-party cooperation, making great contributions to the reform, opening-up and modernization drive, to the multi-party cooperation and political consultation system under the leadership of the CPC, to the advancement of socialist democracy and the legal mechanism, to the consolidation and expansion of the patriotic united front, and to the maintenance of stability and unity.

　　Under the leadership of CNDCA organizations at different levels, CNDCA members have conscientiously fulfilled their duties at their posts in various enterprises, educational and research departments, governments and social administration organs. At the same time, banking on their unique advantages, they have actively carried out service activities in various forms, such as consultancy, intermediary services and personnel training; taken an active part in the construction of socialist material and spiritual civilization; and made positive contributions to developing the socialist market economy, increasing the social and economic benefits of enterprises, spreading science and technology, advocating professional ethics, assisting ethnic-minority people in frontier areas, and promoting the common development of the multi-ownership economy with public ownership at the core. Meanwhile, the CNDCA central authorities have established the Democracy and Construction Press, the magazine Economical Affairs, and a website.

　　The CNDCA has been enthusiastic for promoting social activities, strengthening its ties with people of economic and related circles from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and among overseas nationals, promoting friendly contacts and cooperation with relevant foreign parties and associations for better understanding, and assisting the government in bringing in funds, technologies and people of special skills. In these endeavors, the CNDCA has scored significant achievements, to the acclaim of people of all walks of life, doing its share in widening the opening-up, pushing forward the implementation of the policy of“peaceful reunification, and one China, two systems,”and promoting the peace and development of the world as a whole.

　　The CNDCA has its own organizations established in the 30 provinces, autonomous regions and centrally administered municipalities, and large- and medium-sized cities throughout the whole country. At present it has a membership of about 90,000, most of them representative personages in economic circles and related fields. Among them, 2,166 are deputies to people’s congresses at different levels, 11,447 are members of the CPPCC committees at different levels, 1,247 are leaders of government and judicial organs at and above the county level, and 2,921 are specially invited supervisors or inspectors.

　　The chairman of the first and second CNDCA central committees was Huang Yanpei; the chairman of the third and fourth CNDCA central committees was Hu Juewen; the chairman of the fifth and sixth CNDCA central committees was Sun Qimeng; and the chairman of the Seventh CNDCA Central Committee was Cheng Siwei, who is also chairman of the current (Eighth) Central Committee.

　　*The CPC must always represent the requirements of the development of China’s advanced productive forces, the orientation of the development of China’s advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in China.
