Damn, there's some butthurt libs around these parts
âď¸ Iâm not in this photo and I donât like it.
Fucking right? I'd drop everything and move to China in a heartbeat if I could convince my partner to.
Is there any other kind of lib?
Dictatorships are cringe
Believing Western capitalist Cold War propaganda that China is a dictatorship is cringe.
People who are president for life are called dictators.

Good thing China doesn't have a president for life then, you orientalist fuck.
So when does he leave office?
His current term ends in 2028
When he resigns, loses an election, or dies, obviously.
I know itâs hard for people who live in capitalist bourgeois democracies to imagine that a president could sustain popularity over a long period of time. Theyâre used to getting fucked over, election cycle after election cycle, because their governments donât work for the majority, they work for the capitalist class. Itâs a big club, and you ainât in it.
When he* dies, obviously.
FTFY since he will never resign and never allow someone to dethrone him.
When people have total control for life that's called a dictatorship
All youâre doing is repeating your assertion without adding anything, and the assertion youâre repeating is the the one you received from a lifetime of Western capitalist Cold War propaganda, and I donât think itâs ever occurred to you to question it.
Nobody in this thread can explain to me how somebody who has complete control for life is not a dictator.
And no, him manipulating elections and suppressing opposition doesn't count as the people making a choice.
Yes i understand the US has flawed elections, we all need to do better.

Thatâs because, by baselessly & repeatedly claiming that Xi dictator for life, you are begging the question. Despite the evidence I presented that:
- People in China, unlike those in the US, believe they have a democratic system. I also provided evidence that the US doesnât.
- Chinese people have many material reasons to be happy with their improving lots in life over the past several decades, while the lives of people in Western capitalists states have been deteriorating over the last ~40 years of grinding neoliberalism. So itâs no surprise that people in China might want more of the same.

Yeah, because Xi isn't that.
Xi keeps getting elected because people keep liking the results.
- Most in China Call Their Nation A Democracy, Most in U.S. Say America Isn't
- Long-term survey reveals Chinese government satisfaction
- Helping 800 Million People Escape Poverty Was Greatest Such Effort in History, Says [UN] Secretary-General, on Seventieth Anniversary of Chinaâs Founding
- Chinaâs Energy Use Per Person Surpasses Europeâs for First Time
- At 54, Chinaâs average retirement age is too low
- China overtakes U.S. for healthy lifespan: WHO data
- Chinese Scientists Are Leaving the United States [for China]

Speak for yourself, and you know where the exit is.
Does Putin keep getting elected because the Russian people keep liking the results?
Putin gets elected in roughly the same way that US presidents do. [Princeton & Northwestern] Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy
Putin actually is popular. Russians have good reason to like him: he kicked the Western capitalist neoliberal shock therapy plunderers out of the country. Itâs still a capitalist shithole, but at least itâs their shithole and not a neocolonized state anymore.
Desperately changing the topic there.
