MODERATORS
Chinese citizens are, by all polls, much happier with their government and feel more represented by it than westerners. Being able to choose every 4 years the colour of the party applying austerity policy isn't democracy. Germany ignored a referendum in Berlin to establish rent caps because an old fart with a wig said it was "un institutional". The EU forced Greece to act against the state-wide referendum to revise sovereign debt. China is much more of a democracy than western countries.
