What do you guys say to people who say that China is not a democracy because it only has 1 party and people do not vote for president? Or any socialist country in that regard?

I live in the US. I laugh and ask them how much control they believe they have over this government. No one ever has a good response to that. Then you just shrug and say "I guess maybe we can’t judge if a system is a democracy based on how much it resembles ours then.‘’
