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.

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.

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