    If Chinese citizens don’t think it’s authoritarian, then who are you to say it is? Do you know better than them?

    Plenty of people think the US and it's democracy are just fine, who am I to doubt the majority of people

      Because it's literally not the majority of people. The same polling shows most Americans don't consider it a democracy. 48% of Americans to 73% of Chinese. Read the damn links, people.

        I can't tell what comment you linked to

        But you are correct, 59% of Americans are dissatisfied with democracy in the US.

        I don't know anything about China really, and don't have much of an opinion, but I see no issue with disagreeing with the majority of people somewhere

          Comment links are a little sketchy right now because on long threads the page doesn't load all the comments right away. Something on the TODO list.
