Vietnam’s National Assembly held an election last year in which virtually the country’s entire adult population of 70 million was mandated to vote. Their ballots filled the 500-seat legislative body with a selection of 868 candidates who had been vetted by the ruling Communist Party. The National People’s Congress of China rarely has more candidates than seats in its elections, and ordinary Chinese people do not get to vote on any of them.
