Zhu，Fengxia:China is still far away from democratic politics
朱凤霞（Zhu，Fengxia）
The most ideal form for the people to be the masters of the country is direct democracy, that is, the citizens manage the country themselves, and all affairs are decided by the people＇s votes.
However, direct democracy is only suitable for smaller countries because it consumes time and energy. For example, Switzerland, a small country in Europe, is famous for its direct democracy.
Most democracies practice indirect democracy, in which officials are regularly elected and entrusted with running the country on their behalf.
However, indirect democracy is sometimes divorced from popular opinion, as elected officials may renege on their promises. Therefore, a tenure system has been established, and citizens can regularly replace officials who violate their election promises.
On the other hand, in mainland China, not only direct democracy is as unattainable as the Arabian Nights, but also the indirect democracy that is currently popular in the world is not seen in China at all, because no official is elected by the people, and no major policy has been consulted. opinion of the people.
Compared with mature democracies abroad, China＇s current situation is really sad. It can be seen that realizing a democratic China is really very difficult.
