People who live in China don't have any power to affect Chinese policy. It's decided from on high. Government just happens to you there. One day, there's an announcement, there is a 4-6 week lead time, then bam.
They're not fooling around, either. They eliminate whole sectors of the economy. They just wiped out the after-school education sector. One day they're chugging along fine, the next day poof, your business is worthless and parents are standing around with pre-paid contracts that are now worthless.
Yeah, they eliminated it. The idea being that Chinese schools are all equal, and they all provide an excellent education.
Ask all the Chinese parents where they'd rather have their kids: a public school or an international school. That's where all the extra lessons after class come in: public schools in general are substandard. Remind you of America?

Orientalism dot png. Besides the clear and obvious ridiculousness (they do vote, and are consulted on policy), there are nearly 100 million members of the party.
The Chinese people have no power at all in government. It doesn't do anything they want. This is why the central government has a 95% approval rate, as measured by a Harvard study. :very-smart:
It's actually ludicrous to think that the will of the people being followed isn't linked to approval rate, but if it helps, the majority of Chinese people also feel their system is democratic, much more than Americans do.
Paywalled, but the summary is 73% of surveyed Chinese consider it democratic, compared to about 50% of Americans on America.
I'm not going to keep going back-and-forth with you, because I'm not interested in your assertions without evidence and this post is dead. If you want to discuss democracy in China, make a new post about it.
Yes, known for praising China over the US. As I said, dead thread. If you want to debate democracy in China, make a new thread and everyone can join in.
That's not really fair. The site does have some chauvinism issues (it's mostly used by westerners, so not surprising), but the average opinion is much better than whatever that guy's saying. Thankfully.

One day, egg monopoly, the next no more eggs

It's genuinely fucking hilarious that you're crying about China ending unequal schooling in a fucking Socialist forum.

Yeah, they vote on the lowest possible level. They have no real power.
To join the CPC requires high test scores, a good college and a lot of extra work. Not everyone is cut out for it. It's not democracy.

The approval rate has nothing to do with whether a democracy exists or not.

Ah, the US mainstream media - the fountain of truth. Citing them is always a good idea! They never serve the interests of power.
