Economist's picture based on western democracy religion,India is not the richest country in the this map.
You are correct. The correct word should be China is more progressive and liberal and its citizens have individual liberties. For instance, an average Chinese citizen enjoys more freedom when it comes to matters like choosing his/her own partner, wearing whatever he/she likes etc. whereas in India such liberties are sometimes violated regardless of how democratic it is. However you can't say that wealth brings liberties. If it is so then GCC countries should be more liberal than they already are. A nation could be democratic and at the same time violate individual rights of its citizens and wealthy nations could be undemocratic and violate individual rights and poorer nations could offer better conditions regarding individual liberties. Some people believe in the false perception that democracy brings the ultimate source of freedom.@esolve
Think you chose the wrong word. China isn't more democratic, it's not democratic at all, well a little bit.
What you should say is more progressive, and more developed, with more options.
Example, Gay Rights, Women's rights(domestic violence laws and such).
More developed in more ways to travel, better paying jobs, better health care services, better regulations(because we can afford it).
More chances to travel, more chances to work, a better education system overall, and etc.
Democracy is a very specific system, without one adult one vote, a country can't be that far up the democratic chain. Just because I have a very nice German car, doesn't make it a Lexus.
One is not worst than the other, it's different and depends on the model.
Democracy is not equal to vote, and your example give me more confident.@esolve

Hah,obviously you don't know what is liberty.You are correct. The correct word should be China is more progressive and liberal and its citizens have individual liberties.

What are you talking about? When I mentioned liberty, I had women's rights, right to dress, right to marry, freedom of religion etc. in mind.Hah,obviously you don't know what is liberty.
Liberty is a right to do what you want,but nature and society will limit.
For example, you can't fly to the sun,why?Because nature.
So Tech will bring us more liberty.ancient time people can't fly and nowadays you just need pay for a ticket.that's means be more rich ,be more Freedom.
And like traffic rules, society use many rules to restrict people which make the society machine run more efficiently, laws and morality is a game between you and others, step forwards or backwards are dynamicly. that's means greater social progress , more Freedom you will have.
overall, a progressive and wealth society are liberty
Are those things not for granted?What are you talking about? When I mentioned liberty, I had women's rights, right to dress, right to marry, freedom of religion etc. in mind.
I didn't say they are all present in the most perfect way. I just said relatively China is better when it comes to individual liberties.Are those things not for granted?
Sorry body, those things are so natural in China like breathing and l forgot to mention
