Wang Shaoguang
- ... that Chinese political scientist Wang Shaoguang views Western democracy as a failure? Source: "Recently, Wang Shaoguang has argued in many articles and interviews that Western democracy has failed and become a so-called electocracy." [1]
- ALT1:... that, according to Chinese political scientist Wang Shaoguang, democratic governments are often accountable to the people, yet unresponsive to their demands? Source (interview): "I saw that elections could bring in and bring out politicians, but these politicians, once elected, were not necessarily responsive to the people’s desires, demands and preferences. ... We can see in many countries that political leaders are accountable, but not necessarily responsive to the people’s preferences." [2]

New enough; long enough (~2k elig. chars.); cited, albeit with misformatted Chinese names (use the |authormask=feature to nix the western names' comma); minimal copyvio per Earwig; both hooks under limit, albeit with minor comma and pronoun issues; no image; BLP active but both hooks use the guy's own words and therefore shouldn't be viewed as 'overly negative', regardless of the audience's politics; both cited, although the wording in ALT1 is a bit too much ("not necessarily" ≠ "often"). QPQ well on its way to be being done. ALT0 G2G and a better hook, since more ambiguous as to why &c. — LlywelynII 17:34, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
