And the point of having a poll for this is? Do you really expect anyone to say a free democracy?

neither....obviously a hybrid.

How is there any democracy at all? There are positions which are elected, but they have no real power at all.

It can be in a way... the way it was supposed to work in Marxist-Leninism was that was there was only one party, but everyone in the country voted for the party leader, rather than just members. So everyone got a vote for who the party leader was. But he had to be a communist.

quote CCP's speech,China political system is "socialism proletariate democracy dictatorship".but of course,there's no proletariate in Bei Jing now.so "socialism proletariate dictatorship" is more in name than in reality.
as foreign country,China has some classes: Law class,Middle class,high society.in poitical system,such as People's congress,all of the people's deputies are Middle class

It doesn't seem like your given a real choice when your only two options are communist or communist. I guess it could be sort of a democracy but that's really stretching things.
