China is a republic. There are many different types of republic and, obviously, China is not governed the same as the United States, but both are republics.

Imperial monarchy in China ended with the establishment of the Republic of China in 1912; however the next four decades were marred by warlordism, the Second Sino-Japanese War, and the Chinese Civil War.
A communist victory in the Chinese Civil War in 1949 established the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949 in Beijing, which has since then governed a large amount of territory known as Mainland China. The PRC has also assumed control over Hong Kong in 1997 and Macau in 1999, which are not considered parts of Mainland China. In the mean time, the Republic of China (ROC) was forced to flee the mainland and retreat to Taiwan, which it had governed since the end of World War II. The PRC does not recognize the ROC, as it claims to be the sole successor of China including Taiwan. On the other hand, the ROC, while never formally surrendering its claims, has moved away from its former identity as the ruler of China, and increasingly characterizes itself as Taiwan, which is also the usage commonly adopted in the West

They have the right to name their country whatever they care to. Just as France used to say that Paris was the center of the world. How about the former Union of Soviet Social Republics.
You can call yourself The Supreme Ruler of the World if you cared to. Names are just names.

It is a republic. A republic is essentially any 'non-monarchy'. Republic and democracy are not the same thing.

It is a republic as was Rome. There are no hard and fast definitions in politics.
