      So you claim that China is a democracy based on… having absolutely no knowledge of Chinese politics?

          Hate to break it to you but China is a dictatorship. They don’t even pretend otherwise, the primacy of the Communist Party is literally part of their constitution.

        How does anyone know anywhere had a democratic election? I read it in the news. Who told you China was not a democracy?
