When was the system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation put forward?

The cooperation between China and the democratic parties existed before the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), and the most typical one was the 1946 CPPCC meeting. At that time, China * * * did not hesitate to reduce its quota in order to ensure the quota of NLD. At that meeting, the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the democratic parties made joint efforts and passed a bill conducive to peace.

However, at that time, there were obvious differences between the democratic parties and the Communist Party of China (CPC) in guiding ideology and the future design of the country. The democratic parties, representing the national bourgeoisie, basically pursued the western-style bourgeois democratic thought and hoped to establish a western-style capitalist country in China, which was also called the "third way" at that time. However, with the continuous strengthening of the reactionary dictatorship of the Kuomintang, especially the NLD being declared illegal by the Kuomintang, the democratic parties began to realize that the "third way" would not work, and only by cooperating with China can we build a democratic and prosperous new China. Then, in the late period of the Liberation War, the democratic parties announced that they would accept the leadership of China and participated in the People's Political Consultative Conference of New China held in Beijing (then called Peiping) in September 1949. This is regarded as a sign of the establishment of multi-party cooperation and political consultation system led by China. After the founding of New China, the democratic parties wrote "recognizing and accepting China's leadership" into their party programs.

After the founding of New China, China put forward the policy of "long-term coexistence and mutual supervision" with the democratic parties. 1956 after the completion of the three major transformations, the democratic parties became political parties representing some workers. After the reform and opening up, China will further develop the policy of "long-term coexistence and mutual supervision" with the democratic parties. Treat each other sincerely and share weal and woe. "
