    The comment about US banning communism seems out of place,

    I do it to point out western hypocrasy that is often leveled at China, they criticize it for being a dictatorship that bans other parties while existing in countries that routinely round up, deport and execute socialists.

    whats the point?

    To understand Chinese democracy you need to understand that genuinally most people in China support the government. The reason as to why is nuanced, but most of them didnt even have electricty in the 80s, now they are the 2nd biggest global superpower, have instant access to healthcare and 90% of them own a house with modern furnishings; quite simply the communist party have completely transformed China in most peoples lifetimes, they enjoy complete popular support for the most part.
