A short guide to the Chinese political system
Over the past three months, I have lectured to no less than five visiting delegations from China, explaining the nature of the British political system. I have emphasised the uniqueness of the British model and compared it with other democratic systems, pointing out that I have guides to the political systems of 12 nations on my web site.
I have been regularly asked by members of these delegations if I have written up an explanation of the Chinese political system. Previously I have not, on the grounds that China is not a democracy unlike the other countries I have addressed (although Russia hardly merits the term).
However, I’ve used the early part of the Christmas/New Year break to write up “A Short Guide To The Chinese Political System” which you can read here.
