With out universal suffrage how can you tell the collective will with out an imposed narrative bias?

Press is controlled and self censored. Many Chinese that I know simply stay clear of politics. Politics has very dark consequences in China.

Even if you are a party member you can easily get caught up in an anti-corruption purge.

Don't get me wrong, democracy is not a silver bullet... it is allot of work and imperfect at the best of times.

Indeed, and posting to web forums, especially with connections to mainland China, can be risky due to the traceback of IP addresses, collected or "procured" by Chinese authorities. This happened even through the cooperation of Yahoo in Hunan Province.

I highly recommend using the Tor network for political discussions.
