So funny when they say that the US democracy is under government scrutiny and that's good and Chinese democracy is under scrutiny over higher officers (which I guess does not mean government for some reason) and thats bad. And the competitive elections as a positive is a joke into itself.

It's a strange one, isn't it. Lots of useful info on local governance in China but you really have to work to extract that from the narrative. The stuff on the 12345 system is interesting but you're telling me that out of nearly 11 million messages, there was not enough evidence of positive stories to talk about and balance out the use of 12345 as a complaints line? Come off it. Maybe it was in there and I missed it as I skimmed much of it and tried only to read the factual parts as opposed to the evaluative parts. Still useful to read.

Just read the abstract thought the article was paywalled, but it was really funny how they bend the definitions of very similar stuff to make them seem different to make China look worse

Are there any ways to read the study for free? 👀

Do you believe it would be worth it to email the authors asking for a pdf?

"Whole-Process People's Democracy"

Huh, sorry about that, looks like there's a limited number of accesses to that website. Try this one:
