They have a government that is not legitimate.

2. Though elections are held there, only the members of the Communist party can contest polls. In this way, only the Chinese Communist party forms the government in China.
3. China does not hold fair and free elections. Therefore, China cannot be regarded as a Democracy.
China is not regarded a democratic country because it is ruled by the Communist Party. Elections are held in China but in the country, only the members of the Chinese Communist party or its eight allied parties can contest elections, and thus, only the Communist party can form the Government. Free and fair elections are not held in China. thus, China is not a democracy.
