      No just one out of every 14 people, which you may notice is many thousands of times more democratic than any of the western so-called democracies by percentage.

        So 13 out of 14 people do not belong to the only political coalition (the 8 parties with 700,000 members total don’t really count as “opposition parties”) that is legally allowed in their country?

        In reference to my original post, we agree that authoritarianism is bad and you are arguing the case that China and the CCP is not authoritarian, correct?

          They seem to be doing a pretty good job

          we agree that authoritarianism is bad

          No. We disagree that “authoritarianism” is a meaningful distinction when every government exists by authority. Might as well call it “badguyism”

            Why do you believe the “democracy perceptions index”?

            Take a look at their supporters… like Palantir and Microsoft.
