Comment on "China fully committed to democracy" (China Daily, Dec 9)

It's socialism with Chinese characteristics that has made China what it is today. China's own system has already proved a successful example, although it still needs some amendment and improvement for better governance.

China has its own path, and it should not follow either the Western system of democracy or its definition of democracy.
