Was china ever a democracy

Answer 1

Yes, but . . . China like other totalitarian states feigns towards democracy. They hold votes (voting is a handy method for decision making) but they have only one party that is available to express one's political principles. If your political principles don't match the party you have no where to go and no one else to vote for.

China is a communist country that is ruled by a dictator, called a Chairman. The government, controlled by The Chairman, owns every media outlet and many manufacturing and industrial firms. The state mandates every aspect of the lives of its people, including even the number of children a family can have. Although China makes American goods available through an economy that is gradually capitalizing, it holds strong non-democratic attitudes and policies towards those who would challenge their rule. Some of these methods include torture of dissidents, illegal arrests and detainments, kangaroo courts, and militant repression of protests. They use police and military to maintain power particularly in Tibet and in other regions which have citizens who would prefer to go their own way.

Answer 2

First of all, Beijing is a capital city, not a country. Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China which is a Leninist Communist State, not a democracy.

Leninist Communism is the political theory that a single party called the Communist Party rules the government and governs all affairs as opposed to individual politicians. Although the single party in a Leninist Communist State is the the Communist Party, the party need not practice Communist political theory. In both China and Vietnam, there is a state-directed, right-wing economic and political theory.

Answer 3

It was never as fully as democratic as the Western nations. But now the government is trying to get more and more democratic just like the US or Canada.

Answer 4

China is a Dictatorship. There is minimal voting.

Answer 5

No, it is communist.
