Taiwan is. For decades now.

I've experienced it myself. Anyone else?

Provide key points of your definition of democracy.
Otherwise you make it too easy for
The Glorious Defender of Democratic Centralism :-)

Right, the democracy where Xi's vote counts as much as the rest of the population combined.

The CCP treats many groups hideously. When challenged they just lie and say it's not true.

They're not fooling anyone.

IMHO it is included definition of *good* democracy.
IMHO It is not required for "border case" democracy.

Anyway: Does calling ROC-China Taiwan promote "rule of law"
*before constitutional changes* ?

Everyone calls the island "Taiwan'. Even the PRC.
