Just a post to add to your links to bring out whenever people say that China is nothing like a democracy and should hence be destroyed/"liberated".
Obviously, our governments know about this, it's our population that doesn't know.

Ultimately, the only poll that matters is "the goverment serves the people". If it doesn't it's simply not a democracy, being able to participate in an electoral system is not a democracy if the elected officials simply do not serve the people.

Yes that was my criticism as well when I read this report a few weeks ago. In their methodology and questions they never define what is "democracy" letting everyone answering these use their own definition.

The most important metric is whether the government is serving the people, listening to their needs and swiftly implementing those.
