This Is China: What Is Democracy?

Why can China's socialist democracy be able to do things, do good things, and accomplish things? "This Is China: What Is Democracy" takes governance performance as the core, reviews the Chinese people's exploration of democracy with vivid cases, shows many important areas of China's socialist democratic practice, and illustrates the Chinese political philosophy's understanding of the essence of democracy that "democracy means the people are the masters of the country." On this basis, it explains why "the leadership of the party" and "governing the country according to law" are the double insurance for the realization of people's democracy. At the same time, in sharp contrast to people's democracy, this book observes and reflects on the current governance status of Western countries such as the United States, France, and Egypt, as well as India, Taiwan, China, and other countries and regions that have accepted the export of Western democracy. It sharply reveals that Western democracy has now become "capital democracy" and does not have institutional superiority and competitiveness. This book takes democracy as the entry point and is a powerful attempt to summarize the exploration and practice of China's system and establish China's political discourse.
