soo...China isn't a dictatorship. It considers itself to be a democracy

[–] psivchaz@reddthat.com 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair, so does America. A country can call itself whatever it wants, it doesn't make it true.

The difference being Americans don’t consider America a democracy when polled.

Chinese people DO consider their country a democracy, and overwhelmingly so.
