    Isn’t true democracy the people choosing what they want? Even according to western polling, the CPC has 80%+ approval from Chinese people.

    Now on the point of there not being more parties, why does there need to be more than 1 party? The people are already satisfied with the CPC, so that alone is a non-starter. Further, multiple parties needlessly impede progress with each administration trying to undo the work of the previous one.

      Most libs will argue back and say the Chinese citizens are brainwashed and forced to vote for the party or risk losing points on their social credit score.

        Chinese citizens are brainwashed

        While propaganda is real, brainwashing is bullshit cooked up by the CIA. The True Story of Brainwashing and How It Shaped America

        Here, then, is the brief history of brainwashing. The concept began as an Orientalist propaganda fiction created by the CIA to mobilize domestic support for a massive military build-up. This fiction proved so effective that the CIA’s operations directorate believed it and began a furious search for a real mind control weapon. The search resulted not in a miraculous new weapon but a program of simulated brainwashing designed as a prophylactic against enemy mistreatment. This simulation in turn became the real basis for interrogating detainees in the war on terror.

        social credit score

        So annoying. Libs understand the social credit system the same way they understand Tank Man, which is to say not at all, except as a meme that they fill with their own dark fantasies.
