MODERATORS
White people in Apartheid-South Africa believed Apartheid-South Africa was a democracy, too.
The difference is that everyone in China can vote.
Vote for whom?
Their government.
Any citizen with at least two endorsements from other citizens.
Gee... if the Tiananmen Square protestors only knew that, eh?
Yes, they did. Until some alphabet agency agent co opt the protest, when it's about inflation and economic crisis. Many Chinese peoples still piss at them till this days, at least learn about the country first before spouting shite
Riiiight... the country that the CIA had famously failed to penetrate - right until it became convenient for tankies to pretend they actually did, eh?
They did.
For their peer, they vote for the most competent to run the govt, not some snake oil sales man or senile old man that rely on pr popularity to run the damn country. Look at Nigeria, a drug lord successfully make peoples vote for him and now they're in the brink of war even though peoples don't like it,
Riiiight... I'm pretty sure Xi Jinping hangs with the over-worked factory people every night and does his share of the sewing.
Tell me another fairy tale, tankie.
I have never looked it up but for them it probably was. That isn't the reason people were upset about the situation.
Nice, very tasteful comparison
Turning a dial labeled racism because it makes weak leftists angry for some reason.
