To see how to understand, as I said in the PDF, Western developed countries is that they make democratic ways as a full basket, and then sell it to all countries, they have their own purposes, we only discuss democracy, about the purpose of the West I do not say more here. China believes that democracy is a system constituted by a lot of things, democracy is a good thing, but there is a practical problem. According to our actual situation, our approach is to open the basket than democracy as a whole. Some we need it now, such as more freedom of speech, because the media and public opinion of the Authority to restrict the behavior of some officials, such as dereliction of duty and corruption. CCP that it also allows people to vent grievances, and freedom of speech make society more dynamic, it can also serve as a reference to the Chinese government to rule the country. You know in the modern economy and society, if the lack of real information, you want to do a correct policy, it is not possible. For some Election of the State, it may only mean to step down, but for CCP, it means death, so the Chinese government is actually letting the majority of comments, even criticism of CCP. But I do not deny that there are still some limitations, but all those who are limited to some very sensitive issues, if you challenge CCP, if only some remarks, and that no problem, if there is real action, and that there will be limited, even using the state machinery. of course, for an ordinary Chinese people have a wide range of speech freedoms, in particular network.
So, you see, what is democracy? If you say freedom of expression and media monitoring, it is a good thing for China, even the CCP, why do not you get it? Chinese people are pragmatic, not even doubt it.
If you say multi-party system, yes, multi-party system is certainly better than the one-party system in the checks and balances, but the price is very high, the lack of efficiency and do not stop bickering. We saw the election in Taiwan, we are very disappointed . The Chinese need a fast development, especially the surrounding environment does not allow the development of China has a slow, slow sometimes mean death. So, even if ordinary people did not support the multi-party system, at least for now. I personally think that even need to bring consider a true multi-party system, it may 20 years later, is more appropriate. So, if you mean multi-party system, CCP will definitely not want it, and ordinary Chinese people can not support it, at least for now. so, how do you go promote multi-party system? particularly the Chinese government did something good governance in the country.
However, China has begun a number of primary elections from 1988, a number of experiments started from the countryside. But the effect is not good, bribery is widespread, there are many other problems, but are at least 20 years already.
In addition, most Chinese people think that I need to bring something out of the basket of democracy is more independent judicial \ a wider range of media monitoring (not the rumors are true oversight) \ more transparent to the government.
So, you see, democracy? That depends on your approach and perspective. China will not follow the West's intention to accept the basket, but to open his to get the things we need, some good things and do things. Consider to the East Asian model, so if one day, China becomes a democratic country, do not surprised ,if the Chinese that their model is better, will continue, do not surprised. We are pragmatic, as long as the good, we will use. I mean, really good for China, not some western own calculations.
