    China's socialist democracy outperforms American democracy in many ways, mainly because it can deliver better governance. Professor Zhang Weiwei, dean of the China Research Institute at Fudan University, told CGTN Radio's Xu Yawen in an interview. ( / @yawenxu )
    He said China's whole-process people's democracy is a combination of selective democracy and electoral democracy, which is more sophisticated than Western procedural democracy.

    Mr. Weiwei is such an eloquent spokesman for China. I just love to listen to his talks.
    I think the success of a democracy can be measured in terms of how the government fulfills its social contract to the people. This contract involves providing cheap education, universal health care, safety (freedom from crime, drugs, etc), eliminating poverty and so on.
    China has done an excellent job in fulfilling this social contract while the US has done quite poorly. In fact, I consider the US only a semi-democracy (it is 28 out of 32 in the ranking of the world’s democracies). It is a system of hyper-capitalism that benefits corporations before the people.
    Kudos to China for running one the world’s leading democracies. It is the new model for the world to follow.
    And thank you, Mr. Weiwei. I’ll have to listen to your presentation again and take notes this time!

    One of tbiggest reason for Chinese success is that the Chinese government unlike the US (the boss of western countries) has the final say not the oligarchs.
    I like the good things about China or any other country.
    I hope China continue to remain a responsible actor at the global stage 20 or 30 years from now, because unfortunately historically the most powerful country will change into imperialist over time. Hopefully China will be different,future will tell.

      In democracies, oligarchs call the shots; corporations have the final say. In Communist China, where we refused to acknowledge openly, China's leadership and government have the utmost integrity. If top leadership has utmost integrity, there is no room for corruption, malpractices, favouritism, cronyism. Mr XJP is a hardcore anti-corruption leader and he is exceptionally wise. He led the fight against poverty. In any nation, where poverty is prevalent, so are crime rates and corruption. If poverty is taken care of, automatically, many other social problems are reduced. I don't know why the world would not acknowledge this glaring fact: China's CPC is the best government system in the world.

    Prof Wang has offered a most intelligent explanation of “ democracy” Chinese style!
    China’s struggles from establishing the People’s Republic of China to its correction from lessons learned from the chaotic cultural revolution times is total! These struggles gave rise to its current successful path. I have great faith and trust that its current socialist capitalism path includes participatory of all its peoples- by and for! China is an old civilisation who appreciates meritocracy based on inward critical thinking, and great philosophical outlook with pragmatic characteristics! Chinese people’s are mostly business oriented and it’s common folks know hardships, and are hard working!
    With control of corruption, good leadership, China will prevail and be influential to the world in a good way.❤

    Finally! What I've been trying to explain for years to Westerners (and some Chinese!) has been put into simple words and concepts that potentially even US politicians can understand! Mao, Deng, and President Xi are all familiar with Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and today's China can be proud of having truly become a nation "of, by, and for the People."
    I anticipate quoting Professor Zhang many times regarding definitions of democracy, party (China's "unified political entity," not really a "party"), and "rule of law." 🌹

    China has a system called "social democracy" In China, in order to get advancement from the government one must start from the bottom up. Your qualification and selection is based on the achievements through years of hard work and experience. Here in the west, politicians got elected if they spent lots of money buying advertisements or support by special interest groups. An election is just a phrase to make people feel better in believing that they have a "democracy". 🤭🤭🤭🤭

    Socialist or Democracy?.
    Generally, in the modern civilisation the people expectations is much greater. Therefore, results shall be the gauging tools for any systems.
    Naturally, people will adapt to the best & adopt the best. It is prerequisites for survival .Eg. If you have the best university, students all over the world will flock to your university. So, if you have the best governing system, other countries will flock in to emulate your success or learn from it . One need not advertise it, promulgate it (the system) or fight for it high position. Our interlectual instinct will guide us.
    Unlike today's Democracy , it needs constant protection. Promulgation to the rest of the world. Enforcing of adherence to the system ( like certain country being questions on their democratic behaviours ). The fact is , in some countries, Democracy is on crutches & flaws are manifesting incessantly. Smearing, slandering on others for Democracy esteemed position has been the norm of the day. This is not happening to socialist system. Cool steady & certainly with full of nobleness.
    Interestingly , some of the countries in Europe, though , they are Democratic but in some of their socio economic programmes, they apply the socialist style. That spoke for itself, socialist is indispensable.
    In shot, I would like to conclude here by saying that the liberal Democracy todays is a system that promote, propagating & promulgating excrescencies. Excrescent or fasciate governing liberal Democratic are now menifest its ugliness in USA & EUROPE.

    Thanks for the interesting explanation. Reminded me on Rosa Luxemburg saying "... We have always distinguished the social kernel from the political form of bourgeois democracy; we have always revealed the hard kernel of social inequality and lack of freedom hidden under the sweet shell of formal equality and freedom - not in order to reject the latter but to spur the working class into not being satisfied with the shell, but rather, by conquering political power, to create a socialist democracy to replace bourgeois democracy - not to eliminate democracy altogether."

      It's not just "fine" - it's NECESSARY. The Chinese have learnt about the shortcomings of the "multi-party system", with each representing the interest of only "a certain party" - indeed that's where the word "party" came about - since imperial times. Yes, contrary to the shallow understanding of Westerners, there had never been a shortage of "partisan politics" in the mandarin courts of past Chinese dynasties. Suffice to say the Chinese have seen the kind of chaotic dysfunction we are seeing in Western congresses and parliaments today centuries before - and they don't like it one bit.

    Our western democratic system is a capitalist democracy--who is more popular and who has raise the most campaign money becomes the party leader of the country...yet we can't vote for the leader but the party majority you voted in can vote for the country leader ( who can then make appointments for unelected powerful positions) who may or may not qualify or have the experience to govern just because that person is more popular. So we end up with a Pres/PM that may not have the competence or smarts for good governance for the people, but he/she then has to hire more or surround themself hopefully w/competent (high paying) staffs to cover his weakness- a trial & error Pres/PM. There is no consistency or stability to go fwd with good governance because the next leader may change its policies to implement their own brilliance - another trial n error Pres/PM ..the cycle repeats. And talking about raising campaign money that is another scandal-centre of influence or lobbying group comes into place ripe for corruption n blackmail, n 'I scratch your back you scratch my back'. Never mind the election promises.--sounds good its what the people wants to hear...'comsi comsa.'..it'll happens when they learn, adjust, reassess, try it ...but hey we need to implement that promise in order to get re-elected because we don't have any better new ideas n we have to focus raising more money for our re-election....this western democracy cycle repeats all over again n again. What happens to-by-for the people..we voted for you but you didn't scratch our back. We didn't vote for war, or waste taxpayers hard-earned sacrifices n you didn't consult w/us, your people, on life-threatening issues, dont we your family matters? Is this not autocracy or is it bureaucracy in western democracy term? I guess this is ' c'est la vie"...

Jack Ma of Alipay & Ant thought he could prioritize profit, he was reminded that is not the Chinese way? President Xi Jinping was sent to work on a farm in a rural Chinese village in his youth to instill him with a sense of reality, he saw the importance of local ideas being able to percolate up to the top of the governing body to help all other villages in China?

    Democracy or one-man-one-vote is not the true western value. Check and balance should be the key. All measures should be to prevent anyone, including the government, from growing too powerful. The housing bubble is essentially created by the powerful local government. More than 40% of the revenue from housing sales goes to the local government. Let alone the other related taxes and fees. Now you blame all the real estate developers for that. Yet, the local government is deeply in debt. The government is too powerful to crack down tutoring and gaming and internet other private sector. The government crack down corruption. No transparecy and no formal institution. The government officiers will be much easier to corrupt in the future. The crack down on corruption will never end.

    "One person, one vote", definition of "democracy" from the west, really?
    Then US definitely was NOT a democracy at all before 1920 when white women could not even vote legally. That meant majority of people in US before 1920 did not have legal voting rights. Only a minority of Americans enjoyed the rights to vote. It took 144 years to change that. That's a glorified democracy for you.
    And for a very very long time, many many African Americans did not have voting rights. Not till late 1966, US finally passed laws to ban discriminations against voting rights of African Americans.
    So for more than 190 years, in fact for more than 3/4 life span of US as country (in 2023), "One Person, One Vote" NEVER existed. Here we are talking about THE LEADER of the so-called western democracies. Maybe, just maybe, democracy is not something cracked up to be. Maybe It's just a tool to fool people and be used against other countries.

    In the west there is a lot of debates between parties for and against certain policies, etc. lets say immigration. How does the Chinese system reach a consensus and how far can ordinary citizens go in voicing their opposition to policies? I think some fundamental point of criticism from the west is China’s surveillance and censorship of citizens. They deem it oppressive and thus think China disqualifies for being seen as a democracy for the lack of freedom of expression. How does the Chinese system address this criticism?

      You can debate till the cows comes home and not get a perfect solution because there is none.
      China is a huge country, although having a Han majority is very diverse in ethnicity. A strict democracy will meant the minorities will be side-lined no but or if.
      The best solution therefore is for everyone to feel somewhat satisfied but not fully satisfied.
      China aspiration is to keep the nation whole and to this end the CPC is doing a superlative job.

      Just because China only have one party doesn't mean there is no debate, saying that is so unnatural and human nature because you get two people together and sooner or later they will be arguing - and the CPC have 96 million people.
      I would say the debate in the CPC would be more productive than the debate in the american congress as there will be no grandstandings and oneupsmanship between the Dems and Republicans - they can stick to the issue.
      You think the chinese government is spending all its energy watching every chinese citizen? 1.4 billion of them? You try surveilling an american high school and see if you'll be succesful, the high schoolers will make the surveillance a joke in no time. The average American high school has about 850 students, CHina have 1,412,000,000 people. Think critically and don't just drink the propaganda by the american govt and media.

When did you last contribute your opinion on what your government proposes to do? Did anyone in your government listen to you? Having a supposed "choice" of parties has little to do with democracy.

In China there is one party but your word carry allot more weight, just look at when they protested against COVID restrictions, the policy changed to give in to the demands of the population.

    翻譯democracy為民主,乃是錯誤翻譯。大錯而特錯的翻譯。是故,當翻譯民主回頭成democracy時,遂牛頭不對馬嘴,各說各的。正確的翻譯是:多黨制。即:「多黨競選,勝選者執政。 執政數年,即改選新政府」。這個翻譯,不但是democracy 的本意,也是目前世間的普遍現象。。。中國人口中的民主卻是「一黨永遠執政」。甚麼真民主?甚麼草根民主?甚麼程序民主?都是「一黨制」。中共人士的民主是一黨專。而democracy 卻是多黨輪流。二者牛頭不對馬嘴。

      翻译democracy为民主是 直译,完全没有问题。这是本意,也是深层思想。多党制,三权分立等这些只是他的实现方式,也是表现形式。今天之所以人们误解了民主,就是人们把现象(多党制,三权分立)当成了本质(人民当家做主)。正确的认识因该是民主有多种表现形式。而决不仅仅是一种表现形式。
      更形象的说法是:民主是一种目标,为了实现这个目标,你可以使用不同的方法。比如,我们把民主比喻为,你想从北京到罗马(目标),你要如何实现这个目标呢?你可以坐飞机(美式民主),你可以走路去(中国式的全过程民主),你可以骑着自行车去(新加坡民主),还有其他实现方式。

    This is a joke. Autocratic models as a whole have lost to Democratic models:
    1) Taiwan has outperformed China in every single aspect from corruption, to life expectancy, to average salary.
    2) You could say the same thing about South Korea and North Korea too
    3) It's a fact that America and their democratic allies have outperformed the autocratic, Communist USSR. Today, most American allied countries are the rich ones, and the former Soviet Bloc countries are struggling to catch up.
    FYI, China lags behind Taiwan, South Korea and Japan.. the former 2 were in power for the same 74 years of governance too.
    Before someone blames the US, know that the USSR was the second largest economy in the world. The USSR also had the largest reserves of oil and gas in the model.
    To recap, here are global corruption rankngs:
    A) USA- 25
    B) Taiwan- 23
    C) China - 65
    D) Russia- 137
    Let me point out that despite China trying to economically contain Taiwan - Taiwan isn't even allowed to join the WTO - Taiwan is still outperforming China!
