The CPPCC is just an advisory body to the government; it doesn't wield much actual political power. Plus, all the minor parties in China are subservient to the CPC.

China is a one-party state, lacks an independent judiciary, and exerts strict control over the media and public expression of ideas. To call it "democratic" is somewhat perverse.

You can say the same about liberal democracy.

If you're not too fussy about the details, perhaps.
