The general population does not vote for the presidency in China, the electors chosen by the CCP do. That is significantly less democratic than the US which is also not a very democratic country when it comes to the presidency.
no one tell this guy how bernie got the popular vote but didnt get to run
Neither do americans get to vote for their president nor the germans for their chancellor.
but americans do get to vote for the electoral college, and germans iirc do get to vote for the bundestag
They do and the German chancellor is also not as important as the American president.
Theoretically, the Chinese parliament is also the actual governing body, but with its size and sporadic meetings that's pretty questionable.
