Is it a democratic country?

Question is not what you or Chinese Govt think. As per China's constitution or other rules and regulations does it come into the definition of a democratic country. Am just asking for information, no intention to discuss merits or otherwise of the system of governing being followed in China.

Bala! The intention was not to discuss merits or demirts of democracy in China. It was asked in 9th Board exam and I was unable to get the correct answer, therefore, this discussion. Thanks for joining after a long time.

I always respect your intentions Deepak.

Here we see China and other communist countries as having far less freedom than we do.We see ourselves as the most open society and communist countries as closed.That's why I said the opposite.

and you say it is opposite of a democratic country?

To us Americans , a communist country is the opposite of a Democratic country.to us they don't have the freedom we have.

Does it mean that it is not a democratic country?

Democratic means "the role of the people" since Communist is a Socialist with labor principal that they have different concept but doesn't mean communist is bad at all they just have different tolerance in law and order also Communist means "equal"

The definition of democracy is- the political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them majority rule: the doctrine that the numerical majority of an organized group can make decisions binding on the whole group Do you elect the Government in your country through 'election'? Broadly in a democratic country, Government and its representatives are elected by the people of the country. Do you follow this system in China? Please enlighten me.

could you tell where the standard of democracy comes from.and why do you think that the standar of the democracy is right ? who tell you ,your family,your teacher,and your country's politicians, lol maybe the constitution tell you I am Mr democracy . please read The Constitution of china if the testimony is your country's constitution. please ask your family more questions about what is the democracy if your family tell you we are live in a democratical land .maybe you could talk about what is the democracy with your classmates if your idea is from them. anther question ,please collect other friends mentioned keywords.then ponder over what is really the democracy.

You may be right Hately that China could not be termed as a 'democratic country, though the official name of China is - 'Republic of China'. The post was started just for the sake of knowledge, not for any other reason. Many thanks for sharing.
