    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 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.

              https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-06-26/which-nations-are-democracies-some-citizens-might-disagree

              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.

                  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.
