I've heard people claim that China has a decent democratic system - one that's better at addressing the people's needs than the liberal democratic system we have in the west. Could someone provide me with resources on the way democracy works in China, China's political system, etc.?

also unrelated but it seems like all the links in the sidebar of this community are dead links

          How were they going to telegraph this to a Western audience when Western media isn’t going provide them a platform to say things that contradict their own portrayal of China? By buying ad space?
