I've heard people claim that China has a decent democratic system - one that's better at addressing the people's needs than the liberal democratic system we have in the west. Could someone provide me with resources on the way democracy works in China, China's political system, etc.?

    historically, IMHO china's failed to telegraph what's they're doing correctly to other countries which is redistribute growth back to the countryside!
