The more you concentrate power, the harder it is to keep bad actors from abusing said power.
What makes you think the power over those billion+ people is all “concentrated”? Could it be (gasp!) that the power is largely distributed among those people who overwhelmingly support that government? This is just capitalist-realism-brained misunderstanding of how communist parties work.
Most Americans approve of capitalism. Does that make it good too?

Democracy doesn’t work when it’s top-down. In the West, the capitalist and ruling class is capable of exerting control on public opinion and therefore on elections. The same is true of the CCP, which can influence public opinion as well. The best way to combat this is by emancipating individuals so they are able to resist state propaganda. China has a dogshit score on the press freedom index, so good luck educating the people on the shortcomings of the government. The government is intransparent and oppressive by design.
Can you explain how Whole Process People’s Democracy is “top-down?” Further, can you explain why it’s a good thing for Capitalists to control the press, and not the public? The inverse of public press is private press, and that means ownership by Capitalists and liberals. Surely it’s better for the people to control the press, and not the bourgeoisie?
Further, can you explain how the government is “intransparent and oppressive by design?” Just because you don’t speak mandarin doesn’t mean the process is mystified and opaque for those who live in and contribute to said system.
You made the claim that the PRC is run from a top-down manner. If you can’t substantiate claims you make, then don’t make them.
Secondly, if the press is not publicly owned, then it becomes privately owned, and as such is subject to effortless bourgeois domination. You are trying to have your cake and eat it too in order to play the endless contrarion.
I do not misconstrue anything, here. Public property is accomplished from within the ownership of government, a news organization being a worker coop doesn’t mean it is immune to bourgeois influence.
Funny how 95% of the Chinese population approves of and rates favorably this terrible “ruling over” they are being subjected to.
New theory just dropped, everyone: The more people a government represents, the more evil that government is.
lmao. I unironically believe this though. The more you concentrate power, the harder it is to keep bad actors from abusing said power.

No, but that’s certainly not what makes it bad.

Can you explain to me how it’s not?
No, because it’s not. Nice strawman. Is this public you speak of the government?

Again you construe publicly owned and government-owned
