Question

Elections in China do not represent people's verdict. Explain.

Answer 1

The elections in China do not represent people's verdict. Democracy is a major concept introduced to China in the late 19th century. In China, elections are regularly held after every five years for electing the country's Parliament, called National People's Congress. It as nearly 3000 members elected from all over China. Some members are elected by the army. This National People's Congress has the power to appoint the President of the country. Before contesting elections, a candidate needs the approval of the Chinese Communist Party. Only those who are members of the Chinese Communist Party or eight smaller parties allied to it are allowed to contest elections in China. The government is always formed by the Communist Party.
Thus, we cannot say that the elections in China are free and fair. It is always restricted by the Communist Party and hence, the elections do not represent people verdict in China.
