The head of the government, the elected presedent must be a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Usually an official government system in china would look like the people have the power through thier elected reprasentatives but it actually isn't like that. In China it is a one-party-state, meaning that if anyone runs in an election thay have to be a part of the Chinese Commmunist Party. The C.C.P. is a big influence to every level of government. Example: in city or town governments, and provicial commities, there are CCP representatives where people work. The Chinese Constitution tells all of the indevidual rights in China. These rights include voting, running for elections, employment, and education. But most of the time these rights are not respected. Some examples of this are: Some people are only aloud to watch the governments view of, say, news on T.V., and if a person were to get arrested, the trial may be very quick and the person wouldn't get any time to get legal help. You also can not speak against the government or you will get arrested, and you are not allowed to have any private companies because the government wants to control everything.
