What a meaningless statement. If information can influence elections it can change who is in power. This isn’t possible in China.

In particular, Covid restrictions in China were brought down because everyone was fed up with them. They didn't have to have an election to collectively decide on that, despite the government saying you must still social distance et Al, for safety reasons.
