It is a dictatorship, that’s basically a fact. It’s just a much better ran dictatorship than Russia. Sometimes the king is competent & even benevolent & so the kingdom can thrive.
Having been to China has very little to do with this, yes China has amazing infrastructure & whatever else, but this is not an argument in the dictatorship debate, in math terms A is true, B is true, but there is no connection.
ACTCHULLY I’ve been to China, and since I’ve been that means it’s not. I just walked off the plane and they said, “Wow. This white guy arrived in our country, we are going to overthrow our government and implement a democracy - the best the worlds ever seen.”
My first night in China they all whipped out there phones and voted. 100% turnout. 100% of the votes went to the benevolent dictator. Fundamentally nothing changed. But I’m the reason why China has a democracy now.
Yeah apologies. I was wrong.
I appreciate your willingness to learn and admit this so readily, don’t get me wrong. But how did you get here to this point without realizing China is a dictatorship?
I think when i saw the original comment I didn’t think it was fair to lump China in with the Gulf states as a dictatorship. I knew it was a communist, one party state but thought they wouldn’t classify themselves as a dictatorship.
In my other comment I looked it up and China does indeed call themselves a “people’s democratic dictatorship”.
Just got confused by all the terminology.
But the terminology doesn’t really matter, most especially what they call THEMSELVES.
Honestly, sorry, not trying to come across as hostile at all it’s just kinda truly confounding. China exerts far greater direct control over its citizens than any Gulf state.
North Korea calls itself the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, btw
No worries, no hostility!
I think it’s hard because I’ve been there and saw a well functioning country where the people are happy and looked after. Public infrastructure was excellent. Certainly didn’t feel like a dictatorship.
As you say, terminology doesn’t really matter. Every system of governance is susceptible to corruption. From my POV I see China as a country that wants the best for it’s people. I see the flaws of democracy when targeted by extremely wealthy corporations and people.
Don’t get me wrong China has it’s flaws too. But to me it’s doing way better than the US, and the EU should look to strengthen ties.
