   What are the advantages of Chinese whole

   "China's democracy, known as "whole-process people's democracy," in   
   contrast to liberal democracy, is not about five-year pantomime election   
   cycles, but constant involvement and feedback at all levels of decision   
   making. Unlike liberal democracy, which posits itself as the endpoint,   
   China's democracy is something to be constantly developed. As such,   
   China does not seek to export its model. Crucially, the economy, the   
   main arena for providing democratic outcomes and social justice, is not   
   beyond the democratic remit.   
      
   The future of China's democratic process is heading in the direction of   
   greater participation in decision-making processes at the grassroots   
   level. Feedback is already provided through online and door-to-door   
   canvassing of opinions and contact stations allow citizens to contribute   
   to legislation.   
   ..   
   The type of democracy that China is building is, as Xi Jinping said,   
   "not an ornament to be used for decoration; it is to be used to solve   
   the problems that the people want to solve." Consequently, democracy is   
   not about voting for a manager of the status quo who, at any rate, fails   
   to deliver on basic promises, but about producing real social change   
   that allows citizens to expand their capacities and fulfill themselves."
