How is this index calculated? Is it pluralism? Because then China would be more “free” than the US.
I don’t know, other than they start with their conclusion and work backward to construct metrics to fit it. Hannah Arendt would be proud.
According to their own biaises China has absolute zero pluralism because it's a "one party state"
China - 1 party - dictatorship
US - 2 parties - democracy
Russia - 8 parties - dictatorship
the numbers don't lie
China - ~~1~~ 9 parties - dictatorship
