    Taiwan aka Republic of China aka state of China aka not a country. I dont care what a hand full of redditors have told you but they dont have a seat at the UN, the United States and EU doesnt recognize it as a sovereign nation, Taiwan depends on Chinese government and Chinese exports.

    Either way, China claims itself to be a democratic socialist country so just own that.

      Yeah ok man I don’t care about your geopolitics, the point is that the only part of what is considered China which is at all democratic is Taiwan. The PRC is a totalitarian, one party dictatorship.

            china is more of a democracy than the US what with its supreme court, senate, and electoral college.

                    communist party of china is the preferred nomenclature, communist parties are usually “communist” first and whatever nation state second, see see pee is a western invention, maybe to scare boomers by reminding them of the CCCP but i’m not sure we have a memo or leak about why the switch was made.

                    people have mentioned older coverage when china was not the big scary enemy where capitalist media referred to the cpc correctly, but i don’t have arbitrary 1990s newspaper articles at hand.

                “moving the goalposts” is an informal fallacy, and sports other than handegg have them, so the analogy being made should be perfectly comprehensible

        Taiwan hasn’t even been “democratic” (in the sense of “murder all political opponents to the left of Reagan for 40 years and then start letting people vote for the party that did this”) for more than a few decades, so even at face value this barely counts.
