I mean… I kinda get it, but nowadays it’s starting to get absurd.

    I’m sorry but a dictator for life is a dealbreaker.

    I’ll admit that a truly dedicated and benevolent dictator could run a good society, there are a few examples in the past too.

    But it’s going to collapse once daddy dies like every dictatorship.

      What makes you think Xi is a dictator? If your answer is “because that’s the vibe I get from American Government propaganda”, then you should reassess the things you think you know about the world. The truth is that China has a very vibrant and active democracy that is much more responsive to the demands of its people than that of most other nations, and Xi is merely the one currently at the top of that democratic system.
