Abstract: The CPPCC is an institutional arrangement with Chinese characteristics.The thought of the CPPCC of the Communist Party of China constitutes a unique driving force for the theoretical development and practical exploration of the CPPCC.The CPPCC was born out of the great practice of consultation and nation-building,which conforms to the inherent requirements of socialist democratic politics,and is constantly endowed with new connotations of the times in the process of reform,opening up,and modern national construction.The historical evolution of the thought of the CPC and the CPPCC is the result of the triple logic of the construction of a modern country,political integration and the realization of people's democracy.The strategic goal of China's modern nation-building determines the direction of the development of the CPPCC.As an organization of the united front and a form of socialist democratic practice,the CPPCC serves the goal of building a modern country from the two dimensions of promoting political integration and practicing people's democracy,thus forming an organic unity of modern national construction,people's unity and people's democracy.

Key words: Communist Party of China, CPPCC, the modernization of mational construction, political integration, people's democracy, socialist democratic politics
