Abstract Democracy is not unique and its development is characterized by its diversity. Since there are ideological differences and the value bias, some scholars in the West do not believe that China has the socialist democracy with its own characteristics. Therefore, based on the history and the current situation in China, research into logic formation of China's democratic road is conducted to eliminate the differences and prejudices, which has its important practical significance, theoretical value, and implications for the countries that choose the development of democracy. China's road to democracy is the socialist democratic road with Chinese characteristics which helps to achieve the party's leadership, enables people to be masters of the country, governs the government by law and brings about the centralization on the basis of democracy and democracy under centralized guidance. Democracy in China's style has a profound historical and cultural background and ideological and cultural origins, which constitutes the unique logic clue of its formation. Such a clue is included in the internal guidance to the development of Chinese traditional democratic thought and in the spreading of the western democratic thought as well as its historical influence. Besides, it is also included in the guidance of Marxist democratic theory and the fundamental orientation. Chinese traditional political culture has some of the basic factors that lead to the democratic development, which is the cultural basis for the formation of China-style democracy. The spreading of Western democratic ideas in modern China has broken the fate of China's democracy growing in authoritarian, and has promoted the formation of relatively complete democratic ideas in modern China. The practice of Western democracy failed in modern China. Chinese traditional democratic thoughts set up the interrelationship between Chinese people and socialist democracy, which acts as a bridge for Chinese modern democracy to socialist democracy. Marxist theory of democracy, in particular, has brought a new direction to China's democratic practice because it is systematic, mature and feasible. Marxist democratic theory points out the road to the socialist democratic development in oriental countries, which is the inevitable choice for China's democratic development. The formation of China's democracy road is based on the Chinese specific historical conditions and its economy, which results from the internal effect of China's traditional democratic thoughts, historical influence of western democratic thoughts and the decisive impact of Marxist theory. Under the leadership of the Communist Party, Chinese people have been constantly promoting the China-style democracy to conform to the historical trend and go forward along the specified way of the political development. With the socialist cause with China's characteristics being constantly promoted, more and more China-style democracy has come into being and has been developing gradually, and it continues to be perfected and mature.
