Do you think that the only choices are between Chinese and US state propaganda?
You don’t even need independent research to realize that a parliament that only meets once in a while to verify the work of a much smaller group can’t be the one that’s actually in power.
If you look a bit more into it, you see that the members are replaced in fixed time spans, are all part of the same party, are picked from the top down and so it goes on.
It’s not the organ with the actual power.
I’m pretty sure I’ve looked into it a lot more than you have, but do go on.
Maybe. The issue is that it’s not the quantity but the quality of research that matters.
