- patrickaljord 6y agoChina has never been a democracy though. It's always been a one party system for thousands of years, CCP is just the current name but it is not that different than what was there before. When you take this into account, it makes sense to consider CCP and China the same thing (ie the one party system in place for thousands of years). In fact it is quite an improvement at least since Tchang Kaï-Chek (the Mao era was for the most part horrific and worse than what preceded it).
