an annual survey of 124,000 people across 53 countries conducted by Dalia Research, in collaboration with the Alliance of Democracies.
Charted below are the survey results from 20 countries, and they illustrate some startling beliefs ? not least that 73% of Chinese consider China to be democratic, whereas only 49% of Americans believe the same about the U.S.
So chinese care more about democracy(84% of Chinese think democracy is important vs 73% of Americans) and also think their country is more democratic than Americans(73% vs 49%) and about 90%+ of countries on the list.. The people have spoken it seems. Ouch.
Like I said, for the people by the people should be the real measure of democracy. If the people are happy and like their gov, who gives a shit what racist ignorant foreigners whos gov looted your country and are currently jealous of your miraculous success and trying to contain/overthrow/destroy your miraculous system/success thinks.
And don't give me that shit about fake numbers just because china is authoritarian in some ways. So is Iran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Russia, Venezuela etc etc yet none of them have the similar results as china %. Chinese have internet, foreigners can go live in china and talk to anyone, foreigners can go on chinese sites or chat with Chinese people online.. Chinese aren't brainwashed or uneducated, which you'd know if you talked with any of them.
This also goes for people living under other worse authoritarian governments, like North Korea, Iran, Cuba etc. they all know whats up and how their govs are even if they don't say it publicly.. but online and anonymously? Course they will, as results showed. China is not special or more authoritarian compared to those other countries, yet china is the only one who had those results.. I wonder why? If it's authoritarianism then why didn't those other authoritarian countries have even better scores?
Like I said, china just took all the best parts and rejected the bullshit that's plaguing modern western democracies.. ie fake news, uneducated idiots dictating policy and direction of country, capital controlling the government instead of the other way, etc etc. we can go in depth and debate this if anyone wants, should be interesting but of course then you'd need to know wtf you're talking about and China's political system and country, else how can you be qualified to compare and debate? If the old Greek philosophers who "invented" democracy were alive, they would be nodding in agreement and praising China's system/brand of democracy.
Here's the actual index from original source. Lots of interesting results there that I will comment more on later when I've had time to parse the info properly and collect my thoughts since I just read the Bloomberg article and the headline obviously caught my eye haha

Also, wtf is going on in Poland? Lol looks like gonna be failed state or coup soon. Unless it already happened and it already is.. and that's why it's numbers are so bad.
