The main theme is good governance.
Democracy is just a tool to achieve good governance.
If in the past a king can't be trusted and betrayed its own people, today we have the power to choose, to control, and to make sure good governance is happening.
But the sad thing, it is not happening quite well and smoothly.
The reason is that everyone lacks conscience and selflessness.
Not just the president, but also government officials, down to the people themselves.
Whatever democracy or anything else better, it will be useless.
It's a wolf-eat-wolf world.
Everyone is fooling and cheating each other, it's quite a miracle if everything is still working fine and as intended.
To be honest, it's not China's system is better.
But it's the people, the whole country is good, that leads to good behavior, good action, and at the end a good result.
Whatever the system is.
It's democracy good? better? or even perfect down to the level that needs to be fanatically, crazily, and religiously praised and defended?
Well, just look in the past, the so-called inferior system, a kingdom can achieve prosperity too.
But the so-called better system of democracy, poverty, inequality, high crime rate, etc exist.
It's not about the system at all, but basically us.
We are not that good!
