Anywhere I can read about this?
That’s very interesting, thanks. The whole tone of the second article seems so much different than how we talk about our “democracy” in Canada, where I am from. We talk about it here as a form of prestige (“Canada is so good, we’re democratic, unlike those Asian countries”), where that article made it sound like they were celebrating how it helps the people. At least that’s my vibe.
Now that I think of it, I have no idea how their governance works. We’re just sorta guided to think the communist party gets together for dinner and decides what everyone has to make for lunch on Thursdays lol. Probably interesting to look into!
