Final answer:

In Germany, unlike in the single-party system of China, citizens participate in free elections to choose their representatives without requirements based on property ownership, mandatory voting or affiliation with specific approved parties.

Step-by-step explanation:

While elections in China are strictly controlled by the communist government, Germany's government system—a federal parliamentary republic—enables citizens to vote for their representatives in free elections. in contrast to China's single-party system, where the Chinese Communist Party is enshrined in the constitution as the sole power and enforcer of an authoritarian state, Germany allows its citizens to freely choose their leaders and lawmakers. German elections do not have property ownership requirements, mandatory voting, or party affiliation constraints for citizens to participate.
