This article uses a loose definition of democratic, changes definitions multiple times, and then tries to argue that one country is more of that thing than another. Too weasely for me.
“In China, we know without any doubt who is in charge, and that’s Xi Jingping. Was he democratically elected? Not exactly.
But I’m willing to bet that Xi Jingping cares a lot more about the average Chinese farmer, than Zuckerberg cares about the plight of opiate addicted masses in his own country.”
