You’re the one said that Xi having a third term means China is a dictatorship. I’m just pointing out that longer terms are pretty common in western democracies. I love how your comeback is to just spew nonsense. Really highlights the quality of your intellect there.
I also said that they changed their own constitution just to accommodate for it. Did Germany do that for Merkel? Also, do normal Chinese citizens get to vote for their leader? Cause as far as I know, they don’t. Not even their People’s Representative is elected by their own people. (Fun fact: there’s a Taiwan representative in their Congress, which obviously wasn’t elected by the Taiwanese people at all) There’s not even a single choice outside of the CCP. You ignoring the huge elephant in the room that China is a one-party system, thinking Xi essentially voting himself in is remotely comparable to elections in Germany, and thinking that “third term=dictatorship” is the only thing I meant, really highlights the quality of your intellect here.
Countries change constitutions all the time, not sure why this is so significant. The point is that German constitution already allowed for this. Meanwhile, western style parliamentary democracy is just one implementation. If you think that’s the only way democracy can work then you really need to educate yourself more. Having more parties doesn’t make a country more democratic, the question is whose interests the parties represent. Chinese system is democratic centralism and it’s clearly doing a hell of a lot better job representing the interests of the majority than any western system given that quality of life in China keeps improving while it’s collapsing in the west. Claiming that Xi is essentially voting for himself is the height of comedy. The fact that you don’t even know the basics of how political systems work really says everything I need to know. Bye.
