Your argument is that 1.4 billion people are too stupid or uneducated to …
No.
despite making up the world’s largest economy
Not an indicator for “democratic”.
The people in China support their system because it works.
Well, my view is: They can’t change the system, even if they want to. Their “democracy” (if you want to call it like that) does not offer changing anything that CCP want to have. The people on Tiananmen Square for example did not support the system and… You know… Let’s connect that with the point above: I don’t think, people in China are well educated about that event for some reason…
Or, you can go directly to Chinese state media explaining it themselves.
I have never in my life seen a Tiktok style CCP propaganda video before, so it was quite… (I don’t know which word to put here)… But yeah, if you tell it to your population like that, they might actually think, that they live in a democracy, although even the video makes clear that ONE party in actually the one in power.
I think, the main reasons why people don’t try to lean up against the government is: Because it is very risky and because of some great economic progress during the last decades that moved many people out of poverty, but that does not make the country democratic.
No, your argument does rely on thinking the people of China are simply too stupid or uneducated about what democracy is. You have no evidence that they don’t know what a democracy is, yet you assume they are all brainwashed and propagandized into not knowing. When all you have are assumptions, this is chauvanism.
Please, I don’t think you are intentionally being chauvanistic, but you should re-examine your biases. Even your comment on there being one major party does not mean the system isn’t democratic, the people have a more direct influence on politics than simply choosing parties, like in the US.
