Do you not know what the structure of China is?

Serious question, do you? When I criticise the US I do so from a position of knowing how power works between its three branches of government, how the senate works, how local governance works, how elections work, how the courts work. Do you know how China conducts any of these? Do you know how they govern 1.6billion people?

It's a one-party state with all candidates chosen by the party.

It may wear the skin of a democracy, but it is not a democracy.

I much prefer all those two or three party states where the candidates are chosen by their respective parties on the marching orders of the capitalist class
