Ahead of the democratic summit to be hosted virtually by US President Biden, the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Saturday published a white paper on its "democratic model".

The paper, titled: "China: Democracy that works" put across "people's democracy" under the Communist Party of China.

The document said the Chinese system allows "community-level self-governance". "Under the leadership of community-level party organisation residents in rural and urban areas establish committees directly and exercise their democratic right."

The paper said,&nbsp;"the CPC is the fundamental guarantee for whole-process of people's democracy."&nbsp;

The white paper said that over 900 million voters took part in the elections to the "People's Congress" at the township and country-level in 2016 and 2017 touting it as the "world's largest direct elections".

The Biden administration had excluded China from the democratic summit including Putin's Russia.

Russia and China slammed Biden's move calling it "an evident product of its Cold War mentality" as Taiwan was invited angering&nbsp;Xi's regime. The democratic summit is set to take place on December 9-10.&nbsp;
