Answer 2

China and Mexico are not regarded as democracies despite holding elections:

• Because China is dominated by the Communist Party, it is not considered a democratic country.
• Elections are held in China, however, only members of the Chinese Communist Party or its eight partner parties are eligible to vote, and hence the Communist Party is the only party that may form the government.
• China does not have free and fair elections.
• As a result, China is not a democratic country.
• Elections are held every six years in Mexico, however, until 2000, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) won every election (IRP).

• To win the elections, the IRP used both legal and unlawful methods.  
• Teachers were forced to persuade parents to vote for the IRP, the media overlooked the ruling party's actions in favor of criticizing the opposition, and enormous sums of money were spent on campaigning for IRP candidates.

• Democracy must be built on free and fair elections in which those in power have a reasonable prospect of losing.
