No, elections do not happen in China. The President of China is appointed by the National People's Congress, which is made up of representatives from across the country. This system of political appointment is known as the "Chinese Communist Party (CCP) system".

Yes, China does have elections. The system that China uses is called the hierarchical elections system where they will directly vote for People's Congress and the higher levels of People's Congress are indirectly voted by People's Congress. The higher levels that are indirectly voted for are the National People's Congress and the National Legislature. These are indirectly votes by the lower levels of People's Congress.

China has the communist system for the elections. So basically the elections happen between the communist parties. And the agenda is often about communist and local values over one by one way. So the elections happen there in the communist way. And the people are elected on the board.

The last time I studied, Elections happen in China every 3 years or so. Before contesting elections, a candidate needs the approval of the Chinese Communist Party. Only those who are members of the Chinese Communist Party or eight smaller parties allied to it were allowed to contest elections

Yes, elections occur in China but al the local level, such as village and township elections, and the National People's Congress, which is the highest legislative body in China. The President and the top leaders are not elected through a general vote.

No, elections do not happen in China. The President of China is elected by the National People’s Congress, the highest organ of state power in the People's Republic of China. This is a rubber-stamp process, and no competitive elections take place.

Yes, elections do happen in China, but they are not conducted in the same way as in many Western countries. The Chinese Communist Party dominates the political system and elections are tightly controlled.

Yes, elections do happen in China. However, it is important to note that the electoral system in China operates differently from the electoral systems in many other countries.

The most common form of elections in China are local-level elections, where citizens vote for their local representatives. These representatives can then participate in the selection of higher-level representatives. However, the Chinese government controls the nomination and screening process for candidates, and only candidates approved by the government can run for office.

At the national level, the Chinese government has a system of indirect elections for the National People's Congress (NPC), which is the highest legislative body in China. Members of the NPC are elected indirectly through a multi-tiered system that involves the selection of representatives from various sectors of society. However, the selection of candidates is tightly controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.

It is important to note that while elections do take place in China, they are not always free and fair, and there are significant restrictions on political opposition and freedom of speech. The Chinese Communist Party holds a monopoly on political power and controls the media, so opposition parties and independent candidates face significant obstacles in gaining public support.

In China, there is no democracy and the president of China is elected by the people. Due to the lack of democracy in China, the president is elected by the people instead.

Yes, elections do happen in China, but the political system is different from most Western democracies. The Communist Party of China (CPC) holds significant power, and elections at various levels are used to select representatives who ultimately report to the CPC. While citizens do have the right to vote, the CPC tightly controls the candidate selection process, and there is little opposition to the party's rule.

Yes, elections do occur in China at various levels of government. However, it's important to note that the electoral system in China differs significantly from those in many other countries, particularly in terms of the level of competition and the selection process.

In China, the country is governed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and the political system operates under the framework of a one-party system. The CCP holds significant control over the selection and appointment of candidates for various positions, including national, provincial, and local levels of government.

Elections at the national level in China take place for the National People's Congress (NPC), which is considered the highest organ of state power. However, the electoral process for the NPC is highly controlled, and the vast majority of candidates are pre-selected by the CCP or its affiliated organizations.

At the local level, elections for People's Congresses are held. These elections allow citizens to choose representatives at the municipal, county, and township levels. However, even in these elections, the CCP exercises significant influence in candidate selection and vetting processes.
