Why the CCP works and other new democracies don't

I had this accumulating realization that the Chinese model of governance is not bad for China. I would even say it works great. That is not to say that you will have free speech and your rights will definitely be not violated by the government, but rather that the current system is perfect for China.
What I have been noticing is that when we talk about political system like capitalism, socialism, democracy etc. We rate them from a very modern western standards and try to apply them in Underdeveloped nations.
For example: Socialism works great in Scandinavia, Switzerland and some other European countries, but it birthed a new dictatorship when it was applied in early 1900s Russia. The difference is people. Scandinavian people are generally upper stage orange, green and some even tier 2 where as Russian peasants were stage red and blue. OF COURSE A STAGE GREEN SYSTEM IS NOT GONNA WORK IN STAGE RED.
Using the example of China, most old people are still blue whereas young people are slowly shifting orange. How can we expect them to vote for the development of the nation instead of whatever serves them immediately the most. Democracy is not the best governance for them.
In my country Nepal, People vote for the party that gives them free meal and petrol. Remember, the government that was overthrown was democratically elected. The same thing might happen after this interim election. Hopefully people even in remote villages that are prone to the meal petrol tactic have developed enough understanding to not vote for the status quo.
In a democracy, people must be sufficiently developed too. Even nations like USA is suffering from a political divide. People who normally don't give a fuck about politics, feel a need to participate in US politics which radicalizes them instead of making them more truth oriented.
Of course, it is only bad because the people are underdeveloped. If everyone was stage yellow and above democracy would sail as smoothly as a ship on calm waters.

The CCP 'works' because it works for Western liberal democracies. Literally works for them, China has not built itself alone nor can it sustain it's advancement alone.
