China isn't democratic

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

When asked whether they believe their country is democratic, those in China topped the list, with some 83% saying the communist-led People's Republic was a democracy. A resounding 91% said that democracy is important to them.

But in the U.S., which touts itself as a global beacon of democracy, only 49% of those asked said their country was a democracy. And just over three-quarters of respondents, 76%, said democracy was important.

Ya I will take the people of china's word on this one.

yes and North Korea is democratic because it says they are.

That's a bit of a non-sequitur in this instance don't you think? We're not talking about what the name of a place is, but rather how the two countries' citizenry feel about their respective governments.

So isn't it good that the US people don't trust their government?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I wish that US people didn't trust their government, especially when their government tells them that other countries are pure evil and need bombing.
