Why bother with sources if you're gonna dismiss it as "that's US propaganda" or "just a number". Can't convince someone that doesn't wanna be convinced. 🤷♂️
EDIT: china sounds so awesome and democratic! I'm gonna leave my western country so I can be truly free in china!
You can't quantify democracy and measure it objectively, sorry. The Economist is not the ultimate authority on political philosophy.
You probably shouldn't. While the standards of living have increased substantially under the communists, it's still behind that of most Western countries. It is by no means some kind of workers' paradise.
I just don't want to bomb them.
