Fascinating but I need more context. What elections are Chinese respondents referring to? How do ordinary citizens influence government?

Citizens vote directly for deputies to serve in people's congresses that oversee towns and counties, who then vote for deputies serving at city level, who then vote for deputies at provincial level, who then vote for deputies at the National People's Congress. NPC Deputies vote for the president.
