Comparative Government Response

1.

The two most corrupt governments in the world are China and Russia. Both countries have developed into world powers while oppressing their people. While Russia elects their ‘president’ , Vladimir Putin has developed into a dictator. Through striking fear in the people of Russia, Vladimir Putin continues to be re-elected. Vladimir Putin is oppressive leader. Putin has claimed that there are no gays in Russia. Anyone found to be gay is arrested. China, which also considers itself a democracy, is anything but that. During elections, there is consistently only one candidate on the ballot who continues to rule. The Chinese government oppresses their people through censorship. Withholding information from the people they claim to serve. Both countries have emerged as world leaders while they oppress their people.

Both Russia and China consider themselves democracies. However, the rest of the world does not consider them to follow the democratic process. Russia and China both hold elections in order to determine their presidents.. The elections, however, are rigged. Year after year only one candidate is present on the ballot. These candidates are those who are elected year after year and use their power of the people of the election. These dictators turn democracies and dictatorships in which they hold all the power. However, due to the fact that they consider themselves as democracies, the world sees them as that. In order to make the government more transparent the world powers must intervene in order to expose this hoax and create an actual functioning democracy.
