This blog was lifted from an answer from Quora
China is not a democracy in the sense that while they might have election for local officials, they do not get to vote for their national leaders.
Not being a democracy means China does not go around telling other governments how to be democratic.
Not being a democracy means they don’t spend money of TV ads telling their people as to who is a lesser crook and don’t have to make promises they can’t keep just to get people to vote for them.
Not being a democracy does mean that China care about fulfilling the basic needs of its people and lifting them out of poverty.
Not being a democracy does mean that China have compassion for other people of the world and promote economic cooperation for global mutual benefit.
Not being a democracy does not mean that China insist on China first and everybody else can go to hell.
Ergo, I would not call China a democratic country and there is a lot to admire about that.
