Have you ever experienced living in poverty? It is easier to say like this. But in reality, 99% of the people just want to live comfortably, even if that means that they are living under an authoritarian regime. Just go and ask the ordinary Venezuelans whether they would be willing to swap their passports with the Chinese. I am sure that 90% plus would opt for that. Go to any poor country, and you will get the same response. Democracy is essentially the dictatorship of the majority. So what makes it any different from the system that they have in China?
Well, if you tell those poor people everything about China, I am sure that they wouldn't opt for the passport to live there. Also, can you hear what you're saying? You are basically enabling authoritarian rule instead of the freedom for the people, we shouldn't side with any kind of government, we always should look out for the well being of the public and authoritarian regime isn't a cure, it's a cancer.

How can you be so sure? Let's say someone living in the poorest part of the world has two choices. The first choice is to have a salary of $20 per month, but he can participate in the elections and has the freedom to use social media. The second choice is to have a salary of $1,000 per month. But in this case, he doesn't have the freedom to participate in the elections, or to use social media. If you believe that a majority would select the first option then you are wrong. You guys have no experience of living in poverty. And the so called democracies are not far behind China in terms of human rights abuses. You can check these wonderful incidents from the"so called" democracies:
