            Unless he’s elected again, yes

            Because when his term was going to end the last time he just extended it.

            Well this is just false. Are you deliberately lying or just talking with confidence on something you know nothing about?

          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 you’re doing is repeating your assertion without adding anything, and the assertion you’re repeating is the the one you received from a lifetime of Western capitalist Cold War propaganda, and I don’t think it’s 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.

                That’s because, by baselessly & repeatedly claiming that Xi dictator for life, you are begging the question. Despite the evidence I presented that:

                1. People in China, unlike those in the US, believe they have a democratic system. I also provided evidence that the US doesn’t.
                2. 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 it’s no surprise that people in China might want more of the same.

                .

                Yeah, because Xi isn’t that.
