There is more thn one party, though the communist party is the majority, and so they have all the say
Direct elections in the People's Republic of China take two forms: elections for village leader in selected rural villages and elections for local people congresses. Each people's congress then conducts an election for the next higher level of people's congress, culminating in elections for the national legislature: the National People's Congress (Quanguo Renmin Daibiao Dahui). The NPC has 2,979 members, elected for five year terms. Deputies are elected (over a three month period) by the people's congresses of the country's 23 provinces, five autonomous regions and the four municipalities directly under the Central Government, the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau and the armed forces. The size of each college of delegates is related to the number of electors in the constituency. 36 deputies are elected in Hong Kong.

The President and vice president are elected by the National People's Congress for five-year terms. The people do not get a chance to vote at all. The National People's Congress membership is still largely determined by the Communist Party of China.

If you are a member of the communist party, you can vote for who will represent you in Beijing. Its more of a relationship kind of thing than a real democratic process. No one with truly independent ideas may run, and no one who is not a member of the communist party can be elected. It is a one party state, and it is still largely run by the military.

They do not have a parliament or any democracy at all and execute for the sheer hell of it.
