Abstract: The concept of Chinese democracy of administration is a summarizing for the inner evolution of Chinese politics, and is decided by China’s fundamental issues and agenda of the state. Humans develop themselves in the process of solving the problems unceasingly. The fundamental issues of the state refers to those which are most important a state facing with in its progressing. The fundamental agenda refers to the most important task to achieving its target. The forms of democracy will be varied since the fundamental agenda varies from state to state. In ancient Greece, small state and small population gives birth to democratic system for city-states. As for the states with large land and population, a unity of public power becomes a fundamental issue for the state’s continuous development, thus monarchy becomes the fundamental agenda for the state to solve the issue of unity. In the system of monarchy, for permanent government and peace, there are democratic factors in the process of administration, resulting in the tenacity of China’s ancient monarchy system. Since the near modern times, the unity of the state has been facing with the greatest challenge, so the democratic system substitutes the monarchy. In new China, the socialist construction for modernization led by Chinese Communist Party becomes the fundamental agenda. Democracy is a must for the fundamental agenda, and the democratic factors in the traditional administration are promoted to a modern form of democracy of administration. It indivisibly includes two facades, i.e., firstly, the will of the people must be embodied in the whole process of state administration led by the Chinese Communist Party, and, secondly, the people’s democratic right is executed in laws by participating in the whole process of administration of the state with various forms. The fundamental agenda of the state has decided that China will not, and must not, adopt the western form of democracy in the way of political parties’ rotation through election.
