Several Taiwanese technology companies are helping Huawei Technologies Co. build infrastructure for an under-the-radar network of chip plants across southern China, an unusual collaboration that risks inflaming sentiment on a democratic island grappling with Beijing’s growing belligerence.
"one of the most democratic countries in the world" might be a bit of a stretch here
Democracy is when the people can vote for their politicians instead of countries like the PRC where they are forced.
Do you have any proof of that happening or did you just make that up as usual?
Do you have any proof that PRC citizens are forced to vote lol what the fuck even is this shit man.
spoiler
If you were forced to vote for people would you be satisfied or dissatisfied with your government?
Then why does China have a 95.5% approval rating for their government that spans 15 years?
How are the approval ratings collected?
Harvard spent 15 years conducting a massive and thorough research project.

Interesting. I wonder how it will look in maybe 50 years or so.
It's impressive how far they have come in such a short time, but I wonder for how long the population will be content by that.
It's a shame about the rising corruption and inequality, hopefully they will try and improve on that. The very high degrees of censorship and propaganda is also not something I am a huge fan of.
No one gives a shit what you're a fan of. Do you have any idea how much more developed the Western propaganda machine is, and for how much longer it's been operating? Do you realize that Forbes Magazine, created from the Forbes financier fortune, was built on the genocidal railroad projects that Forbes invested his family fortune in? Do you know where that fortune came from? Opium sales in China. Forbes sold drugs in China, and when China tried to ban opium, the British merchants, who owned the newspapers, wrote articles demanding war because China violated British sovereignty with this act of defense. And from that propaganda, Britain took Hong Kong, Shanghai, and multiple other port cities.
The West is the dominant producer of propaganda in the world.
cope lol
Australia also forces their people to vote, are we also "one of the most undemocratic countries in the world"
