　　China's party system and the govemance of the Communist Party of Chinaprovide special significance for inner-party democracy in the construction ofdemocratic politics in China.Multiparty cooperation and political consultationled by the Communist Party are part of the basic political system of modemCluna.In the practice of govemance for more than 60 years，the party hasformed a series ofideas ofits own for democratic govemance and establishedsystems and institutions for it.The party is actively exploring new approachesand methods for democratic govemance.Besides reforming leadership andwork systems，the most important way for the party to ctuD out the concept ofdemocratic govemance is to develop inner-party democracy，which means estab-lishing a system to guarantee the democratic rights ofparty members，improvingthe party's congress system，giving full play to the function of plenary partycommittee sessions，reforming the inner-party election system，and improvingthe inner-party supervision system.Of them，perfecting the congress systemreceives the most attention.The Commurust Party of China establishes congresssystems in organizations at levels of county or above，and a party congress isheld once every five years.The Party Constitution stipulates that congressesat all levels and the corresponding conuruttees elected by them are the leadingbodies ofthe party.

　　When a congress is in session，it usually serves as a leadingbody；when it is in recess，committees at alllevels exercise leadership functions.Deputies to a party congress at alllevels can play their roles when the congressis in session but not during recess.To deal with this，the party has experimentedwith a permanent system ofparty congresses and made significant achievements in 12 municipalities，counties and districts of five provinces since the late 1980s.Jiaojiang District of Taizhou Municipality in Zhejiang Province shows typical significance in carrying out the permanent system of its party congress.The expression of"expanding experimental units of the permanent system of theparty congress in municipalities and counties and exploring ways to maintainthe function of deputies when the party congress is in recess"was written intothe political report at the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in November 2002.After the 16th National Congress，all parts of the country initiated this reform.
