How can we compare and contrast between Swiss executive and president of people republic of China?
I do not really know how voting (in parliament) works in China... but you can't compare executives of Switzerland (federal council and police) with China's president. In Switzerland there are the legislative (the parliament), the judicative (the judges mainly) and the executive (the police, maybe the federal council). Swiss federal council is formed with seven persons (the bundesräte) or in some way presidents having each one a department and having one chancellor overviewing their meetings. The country's representation is the duty of one of the presidents for a year... the members are chosen by parliament's votings for four years... the parliament is chosen by public voting (having two chambers - one for the states and a national one). This means Swiss citizen's vote for the parliament directly (all full states having two seats, all semi-states having one seat in the council of states; the national council has seats according to the population of the states). Now, the federal council members have to find agreements with the parliament - there are complicated regulations what can be done to have certain duties accomplished or to get informations from council members... furthermore there are complicated regulations - and this might be the main differences compared to China - what Swiss citizens can do to make the parliament and the council look at their suggestions... 100'000 signatures of Swiss citizens (with right to vote) are enough to make the parliament check it - and finally lead to a public national voting. Some decisions have to be put under public voting "per se". After all the federal council is strongly controlled by the public.
