"government is truly representative of the people" - how can they say that when there are no elections in China.

Before 1949 China was dominated by KMT, and then KMT got kicked out to Taiwan by CCP. The question is, why CCP won given that KMT is backed by the US (advanced weapons supply, money, and so on) while CCP was so weak in terms of army? Because the vast majority of the people (most are farmers and industry workers) joined and helped CCP. I think that's why.

    And then let the ordinary people to elect a president like Trump who "knows anything better then everyone else" and just got laughed at by the entire World in an UN conference? No, not a good thing in my view. I prefer a team of government which has proved it has a true vision, which has proved its ability to execute the vision, which has proved its ability to the lead the people to a better future, which has proved its ability to protect the people from imperialism such as what we're seeing in recent years, which is aiming at and actually eliminating poverty from the vast majority of people... rather than a government which is elected by big corps. Edit 1: BTW, I myself believed in the so-called US-style democracy and election, until I saw what happened in those "taught by the US" democracy countries such as the Middle-east, Ukraine, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, several South American countries, and especially, in America itself, in the past decades, especially in recent years. Trust me, I believed it in my heart. Edit 2: I just got to know the name of Andre Vltchek the independent journalist who got killed recently, I read several excerpts of his reports. I think he knows something about the international things.

      You cherry picked the worst of democracy and didn't mention the worst of dictators. North Korea, Zimbabwe, Uganda under Amin. "I prefer a team of government which has proved it has a true vision" And how is this team formed - lottery, nepotism ?, military take over ?
