how china is undemocratic?
Answers
Explanation:
1.China has a Single Political Party
The very texture of a Democratic nation is free and fair elections where People have the right to vote and pursue a Universal franchise to choose among the political parties. However, China has a single political party and has been ruling for years. Unlike in India, people in China do not have the freedom of speech. The Tiananmen Protests in China that expatriates the Misery of Chinese in China is a clear instance of it.
2.Civil War and Guerrilla Warfare
It is said that China was a democratic country in a pre-era of 1949. However, the Democratic Government loses the Civil War to the Communist party in a Guerilla Warfare to make China a Communist Country.
Explanation:
The debate over the definition and application of democracy to China has been one of the major ideological battlegrounds in Chinese politics since the 19th century. Modern Chinese leaders state that they run a "socialist democracy" in which the Communist Party of China is the central authority that acts in the interest of the people and approves which political parties can run.[1] Many foreign media outlets, however, describe China as totalitarian, authoritarian, soft authoritarian, as a surveillance state, or as a dictatorship.[2][3][4][5][6][7] The Democracy Index, produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit, for instance, gives China a 2.26 out of 10 and classifies its government as authoritarian.[8]
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."[9]
Chinese Communist Party general secretary Xi Jinping 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.
