CPC's governance highly effective and democratic

Now, on the eve of yet another anniversary of the Communist Party of China, I find myself reflecting on its history with respect. The failure of Western-style multiparty democracy to deliver on its promises pushes many of us, especially those who remember the past, to reassess what we lost. For the younger generations, this is a harder task; their minds have been occupied by decades of Western propaganda teaching them that the "there is no alternative" (TINA) principle.

But there is. China shows us that.

Electoral democracy, as practiced in the West, has increasingly become a theater. People are reduced to consumers of political marketing, manipulated by media and corporate interests. Democracy has become an empty ritual of elections without real choice, and political parties have turned into business enterprises, using public funds for private gain and operating to serve global capital.
