If you thought that was "so many words" reality is too complicated for you.

"The Government of the People's Republic of China is a unitary Marxist–Leninist one-party authoritarian political system under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_China

I look forward to you correcting that wiki page lol

The fact that you use a wiki page as an authoritative source just further exposes what an utter clown you are. Let's correct that for you:

The people who actually live in China consider their democracy to work far better than pretty much any western shithole country that calls itself a democracy and have consistently higher satisfaction with their government because unlike in the west they see it working in their interest.

Thinking that the number of parties is a measure of democracy demonstrates an infantile understanding of the concept. Democracy is a government that works in the interest of the majority and is held accountable by the majority. Procedural democracies such as seen in the west demonstrably produce terrible results in practice. As a recent study of US shows, the system does not actually work in a democratic fashion

What do our findings say about democracy in America? They certainly constitute troubling news for advocates of “populistic” democracy, who want governments to respond primarily or exclusively to the policy preferences of their citizens. In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes. When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.

Since your cognitive development stops at reading wiki articles here's another one you should read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_centralism

"eight minor political parties subservient to the CCP"

Subservient to the CCP eh... So only one party

[-] UFODivebomb@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

I dunno man "these parties must accept the "leading role" of the CCP as a condition of their continued existence."

Sounds like authoritarian with extra steps. But anyways. Fuck the CCP. They are a threat to me and mine so... Yea. Fuck em hard

Common Yog... Send me another rant haha

[-] UFODivebomb@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

So if I said "fuck the CCP" in China that'd be ok right?

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 11 months ago

Yes, it's legal to be an idiot in China.

[-] UFODivebomb@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

I know. I've been there enough to meet plenty. Not really unique to China tho

[-] UFODivebomb@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

Sounds like a great edit for the wiki! Can't wait to see your updates!

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 11 months ago
