Look at the political system in China. It is very simple; but effective system.
The political system in China consists of:
- The General Secretary
- The Politburo, consisting of 22 members
- The Politburo Standing Committee, 7 members, the most powerful decision-making body
- Military
- Discipline Commission - against corruption
Look at the democracy. In India, we spend time and energy to conduct elections. Look at the Bihar election. It is just a state election. But the leader of the nation has to spend all his energy to campaign for Bihar election. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not very particular to make fellow BJP as Chief Minister of Bihar. All, Modi is interested in increase in numbers in the Rajya Sabha. Because, Arun Jaitley told Modi; we need numbers in both houses; otherwise, we cannot pass any law.
Look at United States. Donald Trump is the only candidate ready to challenge the misconception of the Constitution of United States. The Constitution clearly says, we, the people directly elect the President of United States; not through primaries and secondaries. All these party convention and party candidates are against the Constitution. Nobody has the right to deny an opportunity to contest an election. In 2008, Hillary Clinton was denied the opportunity to contest in the election. Contesting in an election is the fundamental rights of citizens of United States of America.
Just like, American Idol or any other reality show, they try to eliminate the candidates from contesting in the general election.
In China, no wastage of time, money, energy and other resources in the name of democracy.
In China, there are no branches of government; no legislative; no judicial.
One whole system, that is the executive branch only.
The system helps the leaders to make the decision fast and start implementing it right away.
Recently, they made a decision; one-child policy comes to an end.
It is so simple; but effective and powerful.
Had it been democracy, there has been discussion in the legislative branch; lower house; then upper house; at the end, with so much difficulty, the government manage to pass the law. But then in Supreme Court, the judges dismiss the law.
We give a lot of responsibilities to the Prime Minister; but no authority to execute those responsibilities; but, we do question the Prime Minister for accountability and stick a label on the Prime Minister as a weak one or an ineffective Prime Minister in the history of India.
Recently, the political leaders of China assembled in a hotel and took a major policy decision to end one-child policy. This decision would transform the entire China.
They didn't spend time to discuss with opposition and other political parties. They didn't spend their energy in designing a slogan like, Make in China.
At last, there is one nation on earth understands the philosophy of Karl Marx. When Karl Marx said, let us all share the common good; that means, let us all share the wealth. But all communist countries end up in sharing the poverty.
China has one more advantage; no god and no temples. The government doesn't need to spend its energy in managing religious groups and those conflicts.
In many ways, China model works. The seven members Politburo Standing committee is the most powerful decision-making body. But the seven members act with greater responsibility.
Of all nations, India is the most confused nation; loaded with religious and communal conflicts.
