This made me chuckle. So Democracy is "a political system in which "the people can safeguard their own interests and voice their appeals in an orderly manner". "It represents the people's attitude toward the state, and the latter's commitment to its people."
It is this kind of definitions that make me cynical about promises such as this.
But you might be interested to see the Wiki article on Democracy. While there is not one definition, some elements are clear about what it means by democracy. And I am afraid most if not none, are not in China.
Here is another very interesting article on China by the Freedom House.
