    Three or four as I recall are in Congress right now but that is a false equivalence as the issue is the Chinese Communist Party determines what opposition can exist to them. That is why they are not democratic.

    People can like their government all they want. It does not make them democratic. Given Xi’s recent move to make him eligible to lead for life they are in serious danger of no longer being socialist.

      The Democrat and Republican parties definitely determine who can run since they make all the laws. It’s a dictatorship, which is good for me since I’m rich and I don’t want lazy poors to be able to vote for dumb policies that tax me more to pay for handouts.

        No the two parties do not determine who can run. They determine who can run for their party. China’s communist party decides who can oppose them which means they are neither democratic nor a free population
