Okay I'll give you the tiniest little bite. Your first link is a fucking substsck article from a blatant propaganda pusher that mostly publishes "the west = bad" blog post So he is trying to claim that China is actually a shining example of democracy, despite being a 1 party state that openly punishes it's citizens for critisicing the government, the revolution, key reveloutionary figure or communism in general, because of opinion polls that, in a different blog post, he admits are only as high as they are because of China's censorship of government criticism. We have actual empirical standards for what a democracy is. China is basically the poster child for modern authoritarianism and does not fit the description of a democratic state in any reasonable way. No opposition is allowed, the party leadership is the one that picks candidates, not the citizens and even then citizens only get this performative vote at the very lowest level of government. But that's all I'm going to give you. I've fallen into the trap of trying to argue with Tankies who are not arguing from a position of reason, you're like Magas or Nazis but just intelligent enough to actually cherry pick data and use the language of political theory to attempted to disguise your lunacy. Reply if you want, call me a shitlib for being pro free and fair elections if you feel like, but I'm not wasting any more of my time on you.
