  • Alright, you did convince me that the Chinese people report strong support to the CCP and report a strong perception of democracy. What I am still not convinced of however, is that PRC IS democratic.

    In my book, for a country to be democratic it needs to have:

    • Freedom of speech
    • Freedom of press
    • Freedom of reunion
    • Freedom of protest
    • Universal access to education
    • Political plurality
    • Universal suffrage
    • Universal respect of human right

    My opinion today is that, I highly doubt PRC qualifies to any of this points, but I don’t know for sure. If you convince me with credible evidence that PRC is better than, let’s say, France, Germany or Norway, on all these points, then I am ready to move to China with you next year.

    Edit: I forgot a few important point on my democratic list of requirements:

    • Laicity (division of state and religion and tolerance for all religions)
    • Division of power (Legislative, Justice, Executive, etc, must be help by different institution regulating each other)
