Yep, but as Edie said, it isn’t measuring via western norms but instead people’s perceptions. This doesn’t allow the usual shenanigans by western institutes to come into play, such as redefining democracy to a narrow view.
What makes it so is because they ask people how they feel, rather than “”“objectively”“” scoring them
It’s surprisingly honest and the methodology is actually democratic. Unlike other reports on democracy the scoring isn’t done by the report’s authors (like the report by Freedom House or The Economist’s “Democracy Index”). It simply asks people what they think and, when it comes to democracy, that’s kind of the point
Never thought I’d see the day China escaped the bottom half of an eagle burger institute goodness index report.

That makes a lot more sense I was probably thinking of the economist “democracy” index or equivalent.
