From a Chinese perspective, evaluate global democratic practices and elucidate the strengths of people’s democracy through international comparison.用中国人的标准看全球民主实践，在国际比较中讲透人民民主优势Why is Chinese socialist democracy capable of accomplishing tasks, accomplishing them well, and achieving success? This Is China: What Is Democracy? takes governance performance as its core focus, revisits the Chinese people’s exploration of democracy through vivid cases, and showcases many important areas of socialist democratic practice in China. It explains how Chinese political philosophy understands the essence of democracy-that 'democracy means the people are the masters of the country'-and on this basis, elaborates on why 'the leadership of the Party' and 'the rule of law' serve as dual safeguards for realizing people’s democracy.At the same time, in sharp contrast to people’s democracy, the book observes and reflects on the current state of governance in Western countries such as the United States, France, and Egypt, as well as in regions and countries that have adopted Western-style democratic systems, such as India and the Taiwan region of China. It incisively exposes how Western democracy has now devolved into 'capital-driven democracy,' lacking institutional superiority and competitiveness. Using democracy as a starting point, this book is a powerful attempt to summarize China’s institutional exploration and practices and to establish a Chinese political discourse.中国社会主义民主为什么能干事、干好事、干成事？《这就是中国：何谓民主》以治理绩效为核心，以生动的案例回顾了中国人民对于民主的探索，展现了中国社会主义民主实践的诸多重要领域，说明了中国政治理念对于'民主就是人民当家做主'这一民主实质的认识，在此基础上阐述了'党的领导''依法治国'为何是实现人民民主的双保险。与此同时，与人民民主形成鲜明对比，本书对美国、法国、埃及等西方国家，以及印度、中国台湾地区等接受了西方民主输出的国家和地区的治理现状做出了观察和思考，犀利揭露了西方民主如今已经沦为'资本民主'，不具有制度上的优越性和竞争力。本书以民主为切入口，是总结中国制度探索实践、建立中国政治话语的有力尝试。
