    Democracy isn’t just elections. The URSS had elections and they were not democratic.

      This was not a point on the mechanism of Democracy but rather Xi’s removal of the term limit he worked within. As it stands, the people of China have no systemic method to remove him should they overwhelmingly disagree with his policies and unless he steps down he’s in charge for life.

      They weren’t a liberal democracy, which is different, they very much were a socialist democracy.

          It’s definitely better than what you have in the US, which whatever it is, it’s not a democracy.

            The US absolutely has its own set of issues, but I’m still not clear why you are unable to address the initial points made in regards to Xi and China and have instead changed the discussion to US flaws.
