        The PRC believes in the democratic value of “one man, one vote”. Xi Jinpooh is The Man, so he gets The Vote. See, perfectly democratic!

          Name the last time there was a election in China where voters could vote for any party other than the CPC.

            Sure, in 2021 voters voted for 65 members of the RCCK for the 13th National Committee of CPPCC.

              The CPPCC is just an advisory body to the government; it doesn’t wield much actual political power. Plus, all the minor parties in China are subservient to the CPC.

              China is a one-party state, lacks an independent judiciary, and exerts strict control over the media and public expression of ideas. To call it “democratic” is somewhat perverse.

                You can say the same about liberal democracy.

                  If you’re not too fussy about the details, perhaps.
