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

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

@@lianghao7128 What you said would be true of any video made of any country. Not sure why you felt it needed a clarification. Yes, they are promoted on achievements. Achievements on goals of the single party CCP. In a democracy, the achievements are judged by the people but in China and other non democracies, it’s the party or the dictator that judges achievements.

[@lianghao7128]

@@Homer-OJ-Simpson No，in US，they are not promoted by achievements，but by popularity. Popularity and achievement are very different，The former requires good speaking skills, good performance on stage, and the ability to answer malicious accusations and brag about his party. The second kind requires to have good record in solving practical problems on the ground.

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.

[@bjornbuckley]

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.

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.

It is not organized in a typical European fashion where the parties and the national government are separate and almost mutually independent.

Deng Xiaoping famously said "It doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice."

What you just described is not how the Chinese government works, more like what the Chinese government is made of.

I think the current outside world's curiosity about China is more based on disgust with the stereotyped propaganda under the big media, as well as some simple images of China seen from the cracks of emerging media. Many people want to explore the China behind it. There are a group of old people who grew up under anti-communist propaganda for a long time, and a group of young people with rebellious curiosity since childhood, and a group of middle-aged people who hated China after encountering difficulties in life and work due to the pandemic. China has its own national demands, but it has been extremely compressed by outsiders in the past two hundred years, and it cannot even guarantee internal power. When China chose its own path, it stepped out firmly and successfully, and got out of the century of humiliation. Whether most countries are wary of China, curious about China, or need to use China, China doesn't care much. Just as China has established an East Asian system in the past few thousand years only to maintain its own stability and ignore the outside world, today's China's primary task is to deal with internal affairs, because it is the only country in the five permanent members that has not yet been unified.

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.

The National People's Congress is the highest legislative body and the highest authority, which is equivalent to the Western "Congress". Its members are elected by the municipal people's congress, and the candidates do not need to be a CCP members. The congress can make laws, appoint and remove state leaders, etc., but because the congress does not often hold meetings, members of the congress elected some of them as standing members to form a standing committee (members are usually experts in various industries). When the congress does not hold a session, the congress authorizes the standing committee to exercise its functions. At this time, the standing committee has the same power as the National People's Congress.Sometimes people complain that the Standing Committee has sidelined its entire committee.

@@user78994 as if repeating the same thing make it reality, that is truly unintelligent. instead you should state example of how democracy developed.

[@user78994]

@@yzy8638 Our current imagination and interpretation of the concept of democracy is still relatively new, so it's hard to pinpoint a lot of locations where democracy has brought a country up from nothing, since realistically there will always be a certain degree of economic anility left behind from precessor nations. However I guess one ex-developing country that has severly improved since it adopted democracy would be Chile. Of course their success isn't solely to be blamed on democracy, as a large part of their success was just an increased utilization of their natural ressources - but this just shows that the success of a country doesn't have much to do with the system of administration, but rather the quality of the administration (although one definite upside of democracies is that bad rulers are swapped out more quickly). The failure of specific democratic parties in selected countries says nothing about democracy as a whole. Democracies are equally as able to utilize natural ressources for gains as dictatorships or monarchies are, same goes for plenty other business strategies. It is to not surprise that there have been more nations lifted to success by imperial behavior as that has just been the gold standard for a much longer time.

In past 70+ yrs the people's congress never veto any proposal of bills, it really doesn't matter who is seating in congress, in terms of how bills are made, no one knows that either, it's commonly believed that there's a small meeting that every big shots, both current and former high ranking members in the party would participate to decide the policy, also it can be decided by one man or two, you never know.

提案是由人大代表提交，然后小组讨论审议代表团全体审议后再由主席团审议后，才会确定提案上不上最终议程。我们最终看到表决的提案基本上都是经过了层层审议的，所以通过率才会那么高。因为不靠谱的提案在前几轮审议中就刷下去了，每次人大会网上不都会爆出来一堆的异想天开匪夷所思的提案么？哪个能最终走到最终表决环节？

When talking about the government structure of the Chinese government, two things are hard to ignore. 1) how the communist party members are selected. 2) eligibility criteria to work as a public servant in China.

[@TangSuijin]

communist party selection is open to anyone basically. my wife got an invitation just for her skills (but rejected because of me) eligibility criteria for a gov worker is university diploma and a government exam (which minorities get a bit of a privilege for but that's fine) eligibility for a political representative though is pure skill in the field the higher the position. for the entry level, it's mainly a clean police record, cities require more than villages.

No-Bias, apolitical and helps people around the world to understand China better, Great work! However, do like to point out that the "human right" thingy with Tibet and SinJiang are really just western propagada 1. Autonomou regions have a strict control that a certain percentage of their official must belong to the minor ethic group, to make sure their voices are heard. 2. It's the age of machinary, slaves are if anything else, not as affective as machinary when it comes to farm cottons. Funny how US tries to do a reverse Uno China when US literally "use their history against China" 3. The old Tibetan government (not that old as well since it just broke away from Qing) is a religious state that literally held slaves. Is restoring that really a good idea? 4. None of the "humantarians" in the west have visited those regions yet they came up with all kinds of story. Yet my father visited Tibet and my wife visited SinJiang, the stories are simply untrue. 5. If you think India's border dispute with China is to "liberate" Tibet, then you are a funny guy. Stupid as well tho 6. If you want to make a big deal of SinJiang's security measures, remember IT.
