It is not that anyone wants democracy, as understood in the West, to be implanted in China.
Such an eventuality will never come to pass since China's cultural heritage is totally different from that of the West.
What I presume that most of the posters are alluding to is that there should be, if possible, a freer society where the opinions of the common Chinese is heard for policy making.
It is obvious that all the people of a country cannot sit together and discuss to formulate policy. Therefore, the next best thing is to have the representative of the people of various areas/ districts sitting in the seat of Government and deciding policies that the Government should implement.
The National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) is the only legislative house in the People's Republic of China. The membership is determined by the CCP and the members are selected through an indirect manner and not with a direct election. Therefore, in the truest form, it does not represent the people since they were not directly elected to office. In other countries, they are elected directly by the people and hence represent the people in a more transparent way.
The National Peoples' Congress, as per Hu Xiaoyan, is such that she has no power to help her constituents. She was quoted as saying, "As a parliamentary representative, I don't have any real power." (BBC

However, there is a silver lining in so far as China adjusting her priorities to face the modern challenges.
Thee bureaucracy in China is already on the way to tailormaking the civil services system and manufacturing sector.
The Chinese Government has undertaken extensive reforms to its civil service system over the past 10 years. These have encompassed recruitment and selection, training, appraisal, rewards and punishments, compensation, discipline and other areas. This chapter reviews each of these elements. The chapter argues that the capacity of the civil service has improved during the past 10 years. But the capacity improvements may be explained by reasons other than civil service reform, such as by improvements in China's system of education. The rapid expansion of higher education since 1980 has produced a large population that is eligible for civil service employment.
China's large and diverse sector of "public service units" (PSUs – shiye danwei) is a galaxy of public service providers operating alongside core government and separate from other state-owned or state-sponsored organisations such as state-owned enterprises (SOEs), state-owned financial institutions and state-sponsored "social organisations". Following on from the reform of SOEs and core government, the reform of PSUs represents the third major step of reforms that aim at transforming the organisational structure of the public sector into one that assists the socialist market economy.
