Aside from the different class that’s in charge, that consensus building is the key difference I see in the Chinese system compared to the west. Chinese representative bodies can and do vote unanimously for things because so much work has happened in advance of the vote to adjust the proposal for maximum benefit and educate the people and representatives on what it means, for them and for society at large.
The National People’s Congress (NPC) of the PRC is not the same as the National Congress of the CPC, this video is about the 20th CPC National Congress. The NPC is the highest state organ of power and exercises the legislative power of the state.
