China's political consultative system can help avoid "color revolution" - turmoil that has troubled some central Asian nations, launched by foreign hostile forces, a senior adviser said yesterday.

The deliberative democracy mechanism of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference is a major channel for citizens' orderly involvement in political, economic and social affairs, said Li Junru, a member of the CPPCC.

The advantages of this system should be promoted to help meet democracy-related challenges both at home and abroad, especially challenges from a possible "color revolution," said Li. He is deputy president of the Party School of the Communist Party of China's Central Committee, a CPC think tank.

Li addressed a plenary meeting of the CPPCC National Committee in Beijing.

"The advisory body should focus on those problems affecting the people's interests and give the people a rational and legal way to voice their demands," he said.
