What is elite politics? In contrast, what is it?

The opposite of elite politics should be populist politics.

For example, no matter how poor you are, you can still be a prime minister in the imperial examination in China as long as you are familiar with the classics and write well. In Japan and North Korea, I'm afraid only nobles are allowed. That is to say, China has this populist idea. The concept of nobility in China is different from that in Japan and the West. The nobility in China refers to the close relatives of the emperor, which is rare. The nobility is a social stratum. From the speeches of Kang Youwei and other intellectuals in China, there is no disparagement of the common people. However, in Japanese and Fukuzawa's articles, the disparagement of the common people is obvious, saying that "you must never be polite to those stupid common people". At that time, it was "praising the government and belittling the people". This is the difference between populist politics and elite politics.

Elite politics means that only the blood is noble, and there are.
