China has more political parties in parliament than the USA. Stop spreading FUD
5 comments

A Chinese person cannot vote for any party except the CCP or if they can, the voting is performative cannot remove the CCP from its position of absolute control.
Their only role is to clap, cheer, and show approval. I can say with responsibility that there is no meaningful voting in China.
And how often do they vote against each other?
What would that tell you? The US only has two major parties and they vote against each other all the time.
It would indicate that the parties are actually independent and not just controlled opposition.
It’s fairer to call them factions. Also a misuse of the term “FUD”. They also don’t have a parliament, they have the “National People’s Congress” which doesn’t function as a parliamentary body.
Lol, how is it FUD?
