China has more political parties in parliament than the USA. Stop spreading FUD
- lazide 4mo ago
  Lol, how is it FUD?
- smlavine 4mo ago
  And how often do they vote against each other?
  - fragmede 4mo ago
    What would that tell you? The US only has two major parties and they vote against each other all the time.

      It would indicate that the parties are actually independent and not just controlled opposition.

  It’s fairer to call them factions. Also a misuse of the term “FUD”. They also don’t have a parliament, they have the “National People’s Congress” which doesn’t function as a parliamentary body.

  A Chinese person cannot vote for any party except the CCP or if they can, the voting is performative cannot remove the CCP from its position of absolute control.

  Their only role is to clap, cheer, and show approval. I can say with responsibility that there is no meaningful voting in China.

How is China (or any other country) any different except the same thing shifted upward? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_administrative_divisions_of_Greater_China_by_Human_Development_Index https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_administrative_divisio...

  In case of China, the extend to which the central government can set laws and policies far exceeds what’s possible in India. India’s powers are split into Federal, State and “Concurrent” lists. Health and education for example is a state and concurrent list subject respectively, to which the “Indian Government” has only very limited say. So it’s apples to oranges when it comes to comparing investments in those domains.

    India even has a state, Kerala, with strong communist political presence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism_in_Kerala https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism_in_Kerala
