Commentary

“Whole-process democracy,” a term derived by the Chinese Communist Party to promote its self-acclaimed “well-deserved democracy,” contrasts sharply against reality. Hong Kong, an exception in China that used to enjoy limited democracy, met its fate and had its last election return a legislative council in which the pro-establishment bloc swept nearly all seats. This ex-British colony joined China’s “whole-process authoritarianism.”
