China could not be what she is today if not uphold the democratic countries market economy. Yes, the political power is controlled by the communists, but the communists do not control the economy. As for comparing China and India, there are so many factors to consider. Chinese pretty much are the same people. On the contrary India does need to accommodate the needs of different regions, with different culture, religion, and language. In fact, one could argue convincingly if not for democracy, India could not exist as one country as she is today.

China is semi capitalist and semi Communist its a bit of bit really But China , it includes elements of both socialism and capitalism since Deng Xiaoping, allot of reforms was done in China. China has a sense of characteristics of capitalism in its Economic Governing system. But its keeps Communist way of governing in its political system and it works

“Neither system is without fault.” That is comparing the incomparable. That is ok. But democracy has the power to correct, not dictatorship. True, people might vote to a demagogue — it is a recent verifiable history — as a result democracy seems failing, but in the next election voters have the chance to correct their mistake. In dictatorship that is unthinkable. The dictator always tries to create an imaginary enemy the nation is facing. The nation is always in danger. Therefore in most cases the nation turns young boys and girls to a fighting force. Who should always lead that fighting force ? The only person who believes his leadership only saves the nation. Is that a belief or a self-promoting wish ? You decide.

but in the next election voters have the chance to correct their mistake.

This is dead wrong and does not reflect the reality on the ground.

The political system in every single country in the West is a two-party system. In other words, only two main parties pass the ball on to each other, and voters are somehow programmed to be stuck between such two parties. They vote one party, and when they get sick and tired of this, they switch to the other one, hoping a better treatment, and when they get dissatisfied with the latter, they go back to the previous one, when in reality is that both parties are more or less the same and their only difference is rather their demagogy and the form in which they present the rhetoric of their election campaign.

For instance, in France, the two main parties were always the Republicans and the Socialists for generations and people the French people went back and forth between these two parties without having seen any real change. Lately, a few new political parties have emerged out of discontentment, including Marcon's one, Renaissance, initially known as La République En Marche.

On 7 May 2017, Macron was elected President of France with 66.1% of the vote and voters were very hopeful for the first time. Guess what - by the end of his first term, he become the most hated person in all France, and he was only reelected just to keep the fascist Marine le Pen at bay. Simply because the only difference was the name and a new person but the rest turned out to be a continuation of their traditional parties.

What I'm saying is that the so-called democratic systems are not as democratic as they're sold to the public, and if you scratch beneath the surface, you'll realise that they're just an illusion of democracy and voters do not choose who governs them or becomes their leader, as they're just treated like pawns. Their leader or head of state is chosen for them in advance.

Somaliman, I did not say the two party system is ideal. I do not know the politics of other countries that much to suggest an idea about, but I could reasonably say the US two party system is here to stay. The two party system might have incentive to not allow a third , fourth or many parties to flourish. I am not sure just guessing. I am saying this considering the independent party is just a spoiler party, nothing more.
Parliamentary system has shown many parties to compete for power. It is not that good either. Mostly a coalition government is needed. I am not a fan of coalition government.
Coalition makes sense to me only when a country is attacked by foreign forces, and the country needs to rally as a nation.
Who said there is no a perfect system of government, but given a choice democracy is a better system of government. I am paraphrasing here. It is not a quote. I agree with that statement.

Deqi, Sorry for not explaining the obvious. You want to compare China to India. China’s population is 1.5 billion. India’s population is 1.3 billion. Comparison stops right there. China is the longest running Super power in the World. India never had that opportunity. India has been a colony of the Brits for centuries. India is a developing country. It is like You are trying to comparing the US Vs. Ethiopia. Up until the time of Haile Sellasie, Ethiopia was a country led by imperialism . If you follow your logic, compare Imperialism vs. Capitalism. Kind of pick and choose is what you are doing. BTW, if the Western World Sanctions China economically, the yellow man would end up being hungry. :

All your assertions are completely wrong. First, last year, India surpassed China’s population to become the most populous country on Earth. Second, just like India, China was subjected to colonialism and exploitation. China gained independence from Japan after the defeat of the Axis powers in 1945. Third, in 1980, the gross domestic product of both China and India was the same, but now, communist China is surpassing the world’s largest democracy in nearly every aspect. Therefore, your claim that democracy is the best system of government falls flat.

Thank you Dr zackovich.

Kerenite and Dark Energy are mesmerized with every thing the white do and just because democracy works among European countries, they think it will work in Africa.

Here is a ridiculous image when the [ deleted ] tries to act like a an English.





This is how we used to solve our issues in county/ village level before the Europeans started to write about democracy. and it was called Baito which means parlament
