    Who has any right to tell the people of China how they should choose to govern themselves? Evidently they approve of their system at higher rates, believe democracy is more important at higher rates, and believe they are democratic at higher rates, all of which are consistent.

        What is democracy if not rule by the people? What better objective measure of democracy would you posit than the people directly saying that their input is heard, their interests are pressed forth, and that their structure is democratic?
