White people in Apartheid-South Africa believed Apartheid-South Africa was a democracy, too.

The difference is that everyone in China can vote.

Vote for whom?

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago

Their government.

[-] uralsolo@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

Any citizen with at least two endorsements from other citizens.

Gee... if the Tiananmen Square protestors only knew that, eh?

[-] anoncpc@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Yes, they did. Until some alphabet agency agent co opt the protest, when it's about inflation and economic crisis. Many Chinese peoples still piss at them till this days, at least learn about the country first before spouting shite

Riiiight... the country that the CIA had famously failed to penetrate - right until it became convenient for tankies to pretend they actually did, eh?

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

They did.

For their peer, they vote for the most competent to run the govt, not some snake oil sales man or senile old man that rely on pr popularity to run the damn country. Look at Nigeria, a drug lord successfully make peoples vote for him and now they're in the brink of war even though peoples don't like it,
