The Chinese cartel now calls itself a 'democracy'

[northofnorth]

In the aftermath of Taiwan's invitation to attend the Democracy Summit, to be held in Copenhagen on 9-11 December, the Chinese cartel has been trying to sell itself as a 'democracy' and has expressed outrage that it has not been invited to the summit.

The cartel mob's current boss, Xi Jinping, for his part, has lauded China’s “whole-process people’s democracy”.

The cartel's sophistication with manipulating the truth has more in common with teenage angst than mature diplomacy or governance.

Why not? the proper name of North Korea is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The US calls itself the Leader of the Democratic World never mind it's well down (25 th?) the International Democratic Index, and the EU considers itself Democratic although its representatives are not voted by democratic principles.

Ya' think? But China does have as much right as any other nation to call itself Democratic. Correct?

Well, the cartel can call the nation anything it chooses, as you could call yourself the King of Spain... But I'm guessing if you did, the Spanish government would not be bothering you for royal assent.

For all it's ranting about being a 'democracy' the Chinese cartel has not rebadged itself from the Chinese Communist Party to the Chinese Democratic Party.

It has instead shitted out a paper titled: 'China: Democracy That Works''.

Anything wrong with that? If so, what might that be
