The underhanded backroom elimination of Han Ying's name from the list of nominated candidates is more proof that elections for the "People's Congresses" are mostly a farce enacted in order for the CCP to claim that it is "democratic" when in fact it is thoroughly authoritarian with the Party sitting high above the law and above the constitution, which Party leaders can ignore with impunity as they rule by fiat.

It's important to understand that whatever happens in village elections, the CCP has complete control over the nation, all provinces & all counties in China. Even though all political parties/social groups in China have to register, the CCP is not registered at all. The CCP is like the invisible hand that controls all things in China.
