And no one will dare go against the party, and he is the head of the party, hence de facto dictator. A dictator in all but name
...except they do. Often. That's how he was elected even, the party going against the president.
I know western propaganda has trillions of USD behind it, but you don't have to pay attention.
They do often? Really? That's why he's been removed? Oh wait no he hasn't. You don't have to pay attention to Chinese propaganda either.
Why would he be removed...?
His ideas don't always become policy, that's a verifiable fact.
Uhuh. Why might that be? If his ideas always become policy, that usually means something. You said they remove "him" all the time. I'm saying they dont
I said they don't agree with him all the time, just like my previous comment states his policies do not always get passed, unlike a dictator.
Troll better next time.
Nah, that's not what you said. It was a typo sure, but you can't shit on me for the typo you made. You mean policies like mass censorship, mass surveillance, things like "Xi has centralized institutional power by taking on multiple positions, including new CCP committees on national security, economic and social reforms, military restructuring and modernization, and the internet."
Very non dictatorial of him
Auto correct is rarely a typo, and anyone slightly intelligent would've been able to follow the thread. As far as the rest of your nonsense... Yes the government has expanded as the digital age happened. The US government has more than 700 federal departments. Most of those were made post 9-11. Are we saying the more a government does the more of a dictatorship it is?
Anarchism doesn't work that way, and likely doesn't work at all.
Says the person defending Winnie the Pooh.
Lol
When it's one person who's doing it, yeah.
... Its not one person. There are hundreds of thousands of members of government in china.
I know you fascists love the idea of an infinitely strong and infinitely weak individual to pin all your worries on, but christ can you please not make it so obvious that's your thought process.
Also good work with the racist meme allusion there little buddy. If you're still stupid enough to believe that myth that Winnie the Pooh was banned, its really no wonder trump was elected.
Uhuh, all following the order of Winnie the Pooh.
What a fucking stretch and a half. When did I say he's weak 🤣. I said he's a dictator. The mental gymnastics you had to go through to imagine that's what I said is fucking S tier. Congrats. I wish I could make up shit like that lol.
Racist meme? Nah, just hating on Xi. It really got your hackles up, seems I struck a nerve. Your ad hominems really prove your point.
Also not an American.
If you're not American, why are you blindly, and stupidly, repeating us propaganda and us racist memes?
Why are you blindly and stupidly repeating Chinese propaganda?
I'm not blindly and stupidly repeating us propaganda and racist memes.
I can't imagine anyone trying to hard to defend an obviously corrupt and authoritarian person like Xi, like for fuck sakes. Hold your politicians accountable. I saw what the Chinese government did to Hong Kong, I've seen what they are trying to do to Taiwan, I've seen the pictures in Tianamen, I've seen pictures of what they are doing to the Uyghurs. China isn't a "good guy" they do so much fucking awful shit, and Xi is at the helm.
Yeah ,someday when the US falls and they stop producing the propaganda you've been consuming thoughtlessly, I hope you can recover and become a real human again.
That's it? The us has nothing to do with this. You bemoan me for blindly consuming propaganda, but friend, you need to look in the mirror. China is a belligerent country, not the fault of its people, but rather the corrupt autocratic rulers.
