Not actually democratic, thus not socialist.
seems like people who actually live in China disagree with you champ
Most Americans think that too
They don't as the links I provided clearly show. Maybe actually look at the sources before replying.
That's a gish gallop, and the core premise that people believing it's democratic makes it so is incorrect.
~Edit: added link~
The very first article yogthos showed you, had a poll that showed half of usonians don't think their country is a democracy (they're right)
The US congress, its highest governing body, hasn't gotten over a 20% approval rating for many years.
You're deliberately avoiding the core premise that people thinking it's democratic means it's democratic.
Okay then, here are some articles showing how china's people's democracy works, and why they intentionally avoid the capitalist dictatorship model common in western countries.
Is China a Democracy?
🤡
Good talk
