Global democracy Index 2021: Taiwan attains #8 vs Hong Kong remains at #85
Global democracy continued its precipitous decline in 2021, according to the latest edition of the Democracy Index.
The annual survey, which rates the state of democracy across 167 countries finds that more than a third of the world’s population live under authoritarian rule while just 6.4% enjoy a full democracy.
Compared to 2020, ranking for Taiwan surged drastically by 11 places to No. 8 in 2021. The surge showed that the state of democracy in Taiwan is better than that of Australia.
In 2020, Hong Kong has already fallen short from the “flawed democracy” to “hybrid regimes” as it tumbled sharply from No. 75 to No. 87.
A slight improvement has been found in 2021 as Hong Kong climbed up 2 places to No. 85.
Meanwhile, the democracy index for China continued to slip from 2.97 in 2006 to 2.21 in 2021.
The annual index rates the state of democracy of 167 countries out of 10, using 60 indicators grouped in five different categories. These categories are electoral process and pluralism, the functioning of government, political participation, democratic political culture and civil liberties.

China ‘threatens families to silence Uighur exiles in Britain’
Uighurs in the UK are being intimidated into silence by Chinese authorities as the “long arm” of the repressive regime reaches exiles in Europe, a report has found.
Thousands of members of the minority group who left China to live in western democracies are feared to be censoring themselves out of concern for the safety of their families. Those who dare to speak out about human rights abuses in their home country say they face threats from officials as well as pressure to inform on their expatriate communities.
