Why is whole-process people's democracy silly? Just because you don't believe in it?

That's what the author meant by Western arrogance. We in the West think we are entitled to define what is and isn't democracy. On what basis? Because we dominate the world politically?

Because it has nothing to do with democracy. I'm the farthest thing from a Western chauvinist, but I'm also not a naif.
