It’s still a centralized system, which is undemocratic. I agree that the majority of chinese citizens seems happy with how it works.

Who is doing this consensus building? Who decides what questions to poll?

Its surprising that you claim that the surveillance of chinese citizens by the CCP is on the same level as let’s say Germany. Hard disagree. I thought the CCP is proud of the surveillance.

Wtf of course china is authoritarian. China is all about total surveillance and total control by one party.
