- AnimalMuppet 8y agoOn paper, yes. In practice, no. A one-party "democratic republic" is not a democratic republic. A country that's doing what China is doing in Xinjiang to the Uighurs isn't a country with a bill of rights that matters. I'll agree that China is not at the moment particularly communist/marxist. That doesn't make them a democracy.
- amphibian87 8y agoA democratic republic with a president for life? They're communist.

You seem to be unaware of the role of the Communist Party in Chinese government. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_China Xi is currently consolidating power into more of a straight dictatorship, though. It's pretty interesting to watch.
