论健全下情上达机制对完善国家治理体系的重要性

On the Importance of Improving the Mechanism of Transmitting the Masses Opinion to the Higher Authorities in Perfecting the National Governance System

中国的国家治理体系有着巨大的优势,但还有一些短板和弱项需要补足和加强,其中下情上达机制不够完善就是弱项之一。下情上达是社会基层各方面的情况或信息,如事实性信息、诉求性信息、评价性信息、建议性信息等,通过各种渠道传递到上级乃至最高决策机构中的行为和过程,其功能是为了决策者能够了解情况、做出判断和进行决策。建立畅通的下情上达机制是发挥集中统一领导优势的重要条件,是社会主义民主的基本要素和维护法治的重要保障,也是实现党的领导、人民当家作主、依法治国有机统一的重要纽带,因而它也应该是我国政治体制改革和国家治理体系现代化建设的一个最好切入点。

The lack of a well-developed mechanism of transmitting the masses opinion to the higher authorities needs to be resolved.It refers to the behavior and process of transmitting information of all aspects at the grass-roots level,such as factual information,appeal information,evaluative information and suggestion information,to the higher level and even the highest decision-making body through various channels.Its function is to enable decision-makers to understand the situation,make judgments and make decisions.Establishing a unimpeded mechanism of transmitting the masses opinion to the higher authorities is one of the important conditions for giving full play to the advantages of centralized and unified leadership,the fundamental element of socialist democracy,the important guarantee for maintaining the rule of law,and an important link for realizing the organic unity of the leadership of the Party,the position of the people as masters of the country and the rule of law,so it should also be a best entry point for the reform of China s political system and the modernization of its national governance system.
