Well~ you can say you "elect" a pre-determined group of peoples from a single party (CPC) who will elect a bunch of peoples who will elect a number of peoples who will elect your leaders who will indirectly determined who you will elect at the lowest level direct election.
To make it clear:
You -> Pre-determined candidates nominated by someone higher in power -> County/Townhsip Congress -> Municipal Congress -> Provincial Congress -> National Congress -> State Leaders
You can see how this will end. Someone higher in power/influence will nominate who will most likely elect him to the post, and so on and so on to the highest level.

Despite challenges from the global economy, China is confident to deliver the target of increasing its trade volume by around 6 percent this year, Commerce Minister Gao Hucheng said Saturday.
Gao made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of the ongoing annual parliamentary session.
China aims to increase its imports and exports by around 6 percent, according to the government work reported Thursday by Premier Li Keqiang to the National People's Congress annual session. The growth rate is lower than the target of around 7.5 percent set last year.
Hit by waning global market demand and declining commodity prices, China's imports and exports rose by 2.3 percent in 2014.
"Domestic and foreign trade environments for China this year are not improved markedly. To fulfill the foreign trade growth target, efforts should be made to implement the existing policies to stabilize foreign trade increase," Gao said.
China should endeavor to promote trade facilitation, strengthen support for businesses in the process of industrial upgrading, climb the global value ladder, focus on innovation-driven competitiveness and encourage the development of new export models like e-commerce, he said.

Tell me about the Vetican election
That is a good way of reducing the possibilities of infiltration of traitors into the Central government
So ahojunk is right we have a "democracy with Chinese characteristics"

Someone with realistic world view will know what this will lead.
Someone higher in power/influence will nominate who will most likely elect him to the post, and so on and so on to the highest level. With every successive level of indirect election, the higher the chance collusion will appear.
It's no brainer. That's why Vatican isn't democracy, isn't it? It is an absolute religious elected monarchy.
The positive thing is that, as you say, it will reduce the possibilites of infiltration of traitors. That will be good if the ones in power have the good will to the peoples. It is also the weakness of the system, what will happen if everyone in the power is a bunch of corrupt like Kim Jong Il? Well, it will reduce the possibilities of infiltration of "traitors" (that will work against their corruption) in the negative way.The only thing you can do is to pray some miracle leaders like Deng Xiao Ping emerge.

Its a no brainer on your side
When we have an independent policy unlike the proxies, why we should play to the hegemony's tune which has been working so hard to destroy us?
You dont know a thing about DPRK or China and you should be better going back to where you belong fantazising to become a super power 24/7!

Where he belongs?
India: Inefficiency, corruption, filth, racism, nepotism, mob-lynching culture, undemocratic in the true sense of the word, boasting and aggressive.
And it dares to lecture China while we do not care at all what they are and who they think they are.
Thank god there is India for us to know even better as to what not to become.
Now, back to business:

I don't think that is constructive and relevant to the statement I've made~
That is the flaw and valid concern. Everyone in political science knows that. You can't dismiss it by throwing ad hominem attack.
And no~ I;m not from India, and it is not relevant to the topics you started.
I thought you started this thread for discussion? Am I wrong?
And now you dismiss the valid concern that I've stated regarding Chinese political system? Well? It seems you don't expect critical discussion but to just show off?

Community Healthcare System Needs Better Streamlining: Political Advisers

A number of advisors to this year's annual session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference are suggesting that China's community healthcare system needs streamlining in order to relieve pressure on larger medical facilities across the country.
Seeing doctors consumes a large chunk of the day for Zheng Guilan and her family.
Feverish and coughing quite a bit, the woman in her 60s travels to this medium-sized clinic early in the morning.
Zheng is very familiar with China's medical system, as not only does she have a husband around her age, but her son is battling lung cancer. Unfortunately for Ms. Zheng, her trip this time ends up as a waste of time.
"The Cancer Hospital is very far away. However, the people in this clinic say they can't do an infusion with the medicine my son got from the hospital. He has the prescription and the medicine, but they still say they can't do it. I don't get it."
Zhao Ping, director of the Cancer Hospital with the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, is also a member of the country's top political advisor body.
He says shortfalls at community hospitals is a systematic problem.
"People don't trust these clinics and hospitals. The thing is, people want to go to better and larger hospitals, and so do healthcare workers. We don't have a mechanism in-place to keep our best healthcare workers at community clinics."
A lack of good medicine and facilities is a long-time issue for most community clinics.
Most of China's advanced medical resources are controlled by government-run, public hospitals that are located in the major cities.
As such, they're often overwhelmed with patients, as people from other parts of the country will travel to the big cities for the best treatment possible.
To solve this problem, Chinese healthcare authorities have been encouraging people to see community doctors first.
But that in itself is creating its own problems.
Community healthcare workers, such as Guo Guiyuan, says they are swamped on a daily basis.
"We are facing enormous pressure. We don't have enough personnel. We don't have enough space. The whole system needs better policies."
In response to similar complaints, doctors in large hospitals are required to work at smaller clinics for a certain amount of time. But according to national political adviser Yue Zehui, a deputy mayor of Tieling, a small northeastern city, a long-term solution should be underway.
"Eventually we have to rely on community and county-level health workers. We need more capable personnel there. The government should provide more incentives to encourage new graduates to work at community and county-level healthcare institutions."
Besides personnel shortage, more problems emerge. For example a community clinic's partner hospital may not be well equipped to treat a patient's specific problem.
Li Weimin, director of the Lugu Community Health Center in Beijing, says there is a simple solution.
"I think we need an bigger referral pool that is based on patients' needs. They should be allowed to be referred to any general or specified hospitals in the city. Only then will patients begin to trust community clinics and hospitals more."
To further reform China's medical system tops the government's agenda for this year. And the concensus is that the future lies in offering people with health care services at community or county level, though it still has a long way to go.
