Okay, this is deeply unserious.
Xi being head of state does not mean he owns the economy. This is incredibly silly, it's the same logic that people used when claiming Castro was incredibly wealthy, and just pointing to the GDP of Cuba as proof.
The CPC absolutely looks out for the people of China. From the highly successful poverty eradication campaign, to the consistently and dramatically rising incomes for the working class, to the large infrastructure projects, the CPC is focused on the proletariat.
A study from a western firm that found that Chinese citizens overwhelmingly approve of their government because of the dramatic and consistent improvements in their lives is absolutely proof of support for the system. It isn't proof of Xi being a "dictator."
Come on, this is nonsense. Please stick to reality.
No, Putin does not own the economy, just like Trump does not own the US. This is silly. Additionally, Russia is capitalist, and the PRC is socialist.
No, the CPC does not take organs from people off the streets. This is incredibly racist propaganda, and I cannot believe you're repeating this.
I'm not "simping" for anything, I've provided sources for what I've said, while you live in fantasy land where heads of state are owners of economies like we live in feudalism. This is nonsense. Plus, not sure why you're bringing in the DPRK and RF unprompted, we were discussing the PRC.
All states are authoritarian, what matters is which class is in control, the proletariat or bourgeoisie. "Authoritarian" isn't something unique to the PRC, it applies to every state, though the nature of that authority depends on the class structure.
No, the Falun Gong is an anticommunist cult that regularly makes up shit. You are regurgitating USian propaganda, that's why you're malding.
