Comment on When a country is ruled by a dictator, does it matter which party he belongs to?

Have you even read the first line of your quoted article? ;-)

I read the whole thing and the constitution of China.
I didn't post the link to refute anything, just providing information.

How is it democratic though? There is some policy deliberation yes but that’s not what democracy means.

OK fair enough. I think I get what you mean. China has more of an elaborate bureaucracy than the typical dictatorship. I’m not sure what word best describes this model.
