Description
"You can't eat democracy," Zambia's President Hichilema put it bluntly last year. It is a stark reminder that governance isn't just about abstract ideals; it's also about putting food on the table. An international survey on democracy conducted in 30 countries found that people in developed countries have lower levels of trust in their politicians and don't believe they work in the best interests of the people: That's 29% in the U.S., 20% in the UK, 12% in Japan. But the numbers are much higher in developing countries. China, for instance, leads by a whopping 76%. This is a clear slap in the face for Western politicians who speak of democracy incessantly. We delve into how China's democracy is able to win that high-level of trust.
