Hello friend, I think I should correct you something, hope you can see me,otherwise I will feel uncomfortable for several days. What you described is not how the Chinese government works, more like what the Chinese government is made of. Maybe they mean the same thing in the west, but absolutely not in China. To start with,all Chinese officials are promoted by achievements, starting from being admitted to the civil service, from the lowest level to the secretary and assistant step by step, to the district head → mayor → governor → secretary of the provincial party committee → to the central officials, and finally they can become the president of the country. In this process, they are all promoted by economic growth, people's livelihood, housing, infrastructure, science and technology patents, environment, etc. In different periods with different proportions. The performance evaluation is very frequent, and they are usually transferred to different provinces in two or three years. This is how it works

Their voting system seems to be the equivalent of having a voting structure in the UK where you would vote for your parish/town Council representatives who would then vote for the district/borough representatives who would then vote for the county Council representatives who might then vote for national government who would form a cabinet and choose the prime minister.

Unfortunately you're missing the most critical element of China's government: how government officials' performance is evaluated by the largest HR organization in the world - the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the CPC (中央組織部, ODCC). Young, smart graduate students are often sent to poor and remote villages as the governor to be the starting point of their political career (or say the CEO of a village), where performance evaluation is conducted by ODCC every two years. Their performance are measured by 1) Solid KPI, which might include: poverty alleviation, reforestation, carbon dioxide emission, GDP, medium of disposable income, unemployment rate, etc. 2) People's opinion, poll companies are hired by ODCC to reach out to people to conduct polls to evaluate the performance of local governors, where many tangible questions are asked (is your garbage collected on time, is the road paved well, etc.), and 3) peer feedback In sum, it functions pretty much like modern for-profit organization like Apple or Google. To continue to build your careers within CPC and get promotion, you need to deliver solid performance, well accepted by the people you govern (or lead), and get along with your colleague well. If you can continue to succeed for 20+ years, you might have the chance to be elected into the top 7 Politburo members and even go further to become the president like Xi (Xi went through the same career progression for 20-30 years before becoming the president). That's why China believes they have the better talents leading the country all with proven track records while the western world would elect leaders like Donald Trump, Zelanskyy etc. that helicopter down to the very top position without any prior political experience.

In my opinion, is this considered less democratic by international standards? Maybe. However, if what I'm hearing both in the video and in the comments here is correct, then this system (at the sacrifice of more direct democracy) puts a heavy emphasis on electing qualified and thoroughly smoke-checked officials into government offices. Western peoples really like the idea of being able to put just anyone into office, and they hold on to this principle like it's the word of God. However, it's not necessarily a terrible idea to value qualification barriers and limitations that are outside of direct democracy. After all, western democracy has its flaws too, especially when you can observe how corrupt and incompetent American politicians are. Is that a problem in China too? Maybe, but it definitely means many anti-Chinese government activists from the west are the pot calling the kettle black.
@natekite7532

It sounds like it could be a good idea, but at the same time, requiring party officials to approve every candidate running for office quickly presents a glaring opportunity for corruption. The ruling party can easily shut down opposition by just disqualifying candidates that don't serve their interest. I'm certain that the CCP has a list of subtle and not-so-subtle ways of making sure that the right people fail those background checks. It's kinda like how in the US, additional voting security measures _seem_ like a good idea (who doesn't want more security?) but are usually just a sneaky way to disqualify minority voters. Coming back to the West (specifically the US because that's what I'm familiar with), we can look at our politicians and see that _most_ politicians are relatively well qualified (with a couple glaring exceptions). That doesn't necessarily mean they're _good_ politicians, but they are _qualified_ - even our slimiest and most moronic politicians hold college degrees. We could try to set out some guidelines to automatically disqualify bad candidates, but it's hard to do that objectively without feeling like you're just drawing arbitrary lines in the sand. And if we aren't careful, it can be easily abused (like China's system, which is probably designed to be abused). But finally, there is actually a hidden requirement in our election system - you have to run a campaign well enough to actually get elected. This isn't a perfect test, especially when political parties can carry an attractive candidate so far, but it does provide some sort of barrier to entry that forces a candidate to displau public speaking and leadership skill. So yeah, the US system definitely isn't perfect, and we've had some idiots get elected or get close (my state tried to put a football player in office). But on the whole, I'd rather have the people decide who's qualified, rather than the state.

Before Xi Jinping came to power, there were indeed a large number of corrupt and incompetent officials in the Chinese government. However, after Xi Jinping came to power, he carried out severe anti-corruption actions. The current level of integrity of the Chinese government may not be transparent enough, but I think the efficiency has reached the top level in the world.This leads to a very ironic point. Western media imagines that Chinese people don’t like Xi Jinping. In fact, almost all Chinese people recognize Xi Jinping’s crackdown on official corruption and the improvement of social atmosphere.

In the Chinese context, the two are simultaneously fused (as in the saying "one department, two plaques" 一个部门两个牌子) but yet kept de jure separate.

This is a common misconception in the west, but you have to stop looking at other countries using assumptions from your governments. The CPC is legally an integral part of the National government. The CPC and the other branches of government (executive, legislative etc.) are part of a whole. It is not organized in a typical European fashion where the parties and the national government are separate and almost mutually independent. Thus it is not legally possible to sever the CPC from the rest of China's government, similar to how you can't sever the church from religious countries. The PLA command is a department under the CPC which in turn is part of the national government.

The CPC is not even a Political Party, it's a meritocratic ruling organization or class, similar to the Imperial Bureaucracy of the Dynastic China. The CPC is not a political Party as defined by the Western definition because: 1) it has no constituency, it represents the entirety of the country's interest, this fits well with the Socialist Democratic Centralism. 2) There are no strictly speaking, Politicians in China, Xi or any officials in China are part of the Civil service system, Xi and the Politburo is rank 1 out of 27 ranks in the civil servant system. in Imperial China they had 9 ranks of similar civil bureaucracy system in the West, there is a clear distinction between politicians and bureaucrats, the former is elected, the latter is appointed. in fact the Civil service system was copied from China by the British in the 18th/19th century. Finally, China's system is officially, Democratic Centralism with Consultative Democracy. This means that decisions are made within the Party or the Committee, through an internal vote, the Minority MUST follow the will of the Majority. Which means if you are in the minority, you must vote in favor during the formal voting process, to present an United Front (which interestingly is the ruling coalition's name in China) So you cannot have someone who is opposing for the sake of opposing.

I think the biggest difference from most Western so-called "democratic" countries is that it actually works, China was able to move 800 million people out of poverty in less than 40 years. The "theory" about how the government is very different from how the actual power works, I don't know any country who is truly democratic to be honest but at least in some scenarios China is doing a great work. Deng Xiaoping famously said "It doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice." Besides of that I believe it's very complex situation to govern a 1.4 billion people country, would be nice to see how India does it! Maybe Russia as well because those are probably very different from typical Western countries.

China adopted an arrangement that works for them. It shows in what China is now today- already an economic powerhouse and a rising military power. For a country with over a billion people of different ethnicities, China needs a strong central government to keep the country together. In its millennia of continuous history, China knows well what happens when the central government becomes too weak, too corrupt, and too distanced from the people. From similar lessons in its long history, it also knows what happens when provinces are given too much autonomy.

There seems to be a lot of unexplained mystery after watching this video. For example, how exactly the policies are formulated? The NPC may be a rubber stamp but they must have some ways to research and develop laws and regulations. If you look at the phenomenal growth of China, I don't think they just anyhow slap some ideas together. Together with the cumbersome and confusing party-nation duality, it doesn't seem to work that well.

The reason why people think the Standing Comittee is just rubber stamping is because the SC does not vote like a parliament does. Rather it works through very thorough discussion and scrutiny of policy and politicians and at the end of a session members of the SC usually agree on a strong majority consensus. However, this process is very untransparent as far as I know because most of this happens behind closed doors I think. So you never really know who critiqued what and who voted on what. However, this systems obviously has done wonders for China.

*elections are slightly different than he said. Basically China uses a parallel system where there’s a bodies within the party and then equivalent bodies within the state. So the elections to the peoples congresses are strictly state stuff and so all Chinese citizens participate (obviously the elections aren’t really real but everyone can vote in them) and then there are separate party elections to elect the national party Congress that works exactly the same as the state elections but these elections are only for party members

What you just described is not how the Chinese government works, more like what the Chinese government is made of. All Chinese officials are promoted by achievements, starting from being admitted to the civil service, from the lowest level to the secretary and assistant step by step, to the district head, mayor, governor, secretary of the provincial party committee, to the central officials, and finally they can become the president of the country. In this process, they are all promoted by economic growth, people's livelihood, housing, infrastructure, science and technology patents, environment, etc. In different periods and different proportions. This is how it works
