Who even cares if China doesn’t have western style liberal democracy? More Chinese people feel they live in a democracy than do Americans, and that’s the only metric that should count. The CPC consistently scores >90% approval ratings while Americans fucking hate their own politicians, regardless of party. Ask Americans if they think they’re politicians really represent them (the most basic aspect of democracy) and the overwhelming majority will say no. And the American people here are actually right for once, even if they don’t know why.
