The book focuses on the nature of Chinese politics from both a historical and realistic point of view, and comes up with the idea of gradually shaping the political landscape of socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics by establishing modern democratic systems and applying democratic practices. The book is divided into 16 chapters. Each elaborates on a specific topic, such as the grand unification and Chinese politics, republicanism,  state transformation, party and state, constitution and legal system, people's democracy, supervision of power and state governance, etc. The book explains to its readers why China's new political system is reasonable and workable with its well-based and well-presented points of view, making it one of the most significant theoretical works of political science in recent years.
