I may have my mind made up, but I could change it if people said something more easily verified, like the kind of police brutality that happens in US, instead of people disappearing like the chinese has ufos contracted, that just sounds like conspiracy theories made up by the americans.
And of course you send me the article from a paper that's the mouthpiece of some US billionaire. Would you take it seriously if a chinese paper said the US 'secret police' is disappearing people? They are going to paint the worse possible picture since they are rivals.
Democracy broadly refers to a system of government where ultimate power rests with the people. I don’t believe it’s solely about voting; rather, it’s about whether people perceive that they are being represented by the government.
