Answers
Answer:
china is a country with a communist form of government which conducts elections for the sake of formality. in china, no party other than the communist party is allowed to contest in election. here the media is biased and shows the views of the ruling party only. even if some party manages to stand in the elections against the ruling party, their meetings are disrupted, their candidates are beaten up and tortured, and are forced to take back their names from nominations. summing up, no other party can manage to win elections in china.

Answer:
The debate over the definition and application of democracy to China was one of the major ideological battlegrounds in Chinese politics since the 19th century. Modern Chinese leaders state that they run a "socialist democracy" where the Communist Party of China is a central authority that acts in the interest of the people.[1] The Communist Party approves what political parties can run.
Around the world in various media outlets, China is often described in varying terms such as totalitarian, authoritarian, soft authoritarian, a surveillance state, or a dictatorship.[2][3][4][5][6] The Democracy Index, produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit, gives China a 3.1 out of 10 and classifies its government as authoritarian.[7]
Zhengxu Wang of Fudan University in Shanghai wrote in a report in 2007 "It is clear that public support for democracy is high in China. Public opinion surveys show that more than 90% of Chinese citizens believe that having a democracy is good. But the majority is not yet ready for a major effort towards democratization because they still see economic growth and social stability as more important than freedom of speech, political participation, and other democratic rights."[8]
President Xi said that a multi-party system would not work for China during a visit to Europe in 2014. He said China had experimented in the past with various political systems, including multi-party democracy, warning that copying foreign political or development models could be catastrophic because of its unique historical and social conditions.[9]
