Free and fair elections are not characteristic of the authoritarian governments in East Asia.

Explanation:

At present, East Asia has two countries that have authoritarian governments. Those two countries are China and North Korea, both of which have a communist type of government, though China has at least transitioned economically, while North Korea hasn't and still has a command type of economy.

These governments tend to rule with an iron fist, having full control of both politics and society, as well as having the economy in their hands and working in accordance with their rules. Human rights are violated on a daily basis, with many gruesoume things occurring regularly. Something that can not be found is free and fair elections. In China, there are elections, but people can only vote for the communist party, which later instals its own people by its desire, while in North Korea the leadership is hereditary. To put it simple, people have little to no say in government.
