At the risk of being destroyed, I thought Mao was in favour of a democracy composed of the revolutionaries classes. Why did democracy never develop?
Democracy did develop. The entire People's Congress is a system of democracy.
Any citizen without a criminal conviction can join the party (akin to registering to vote), then party members elect a representative for the grassroots/village level. Those representatives then elect people for the district/county, and those representatives then elect someone to the city/provincial level, who elect someone for the National People's Congress. The President is then chosen by the National People's Congress. No-one moves up without the support of their peers, and no-one gets to the top without demonstrating a lifetime of competence. No one gets into the system without being elected by the people, and no-one moves up in the system without being elected by their peers.
Do the higher ups still have a local area they need to maintain? Like are there still some people voting for them directly?
I've looked around but I can't find good info on the Chinese system, because of all the china watchers writing bs
As far as I know, once you move up someone fills in your previous position. If you go from being in charge of, say, the city of Zhengzhou to the entire province of Henan, in a way you are still maintaining the city Zhengzhou in a way.
