      One whose decisions have to be approved, and can be removed by a simple majority vote at any time… If dictators were actually like that no one would have a problem with them.

        It’s easy to keep a simple majority from voting you out, when anyone opposing you gets the wall for being “Not doctrinal”…

        Its like saying a pastor of a church can be voted out by a simple majority of the deacons… But the pastor can off any deacon at any time, merely for being a heretic.

        And no one will dare go against the party, and he is the head of the party, hence de facto dictator. A dictator in all but name

          …except they do. Often. That’s how he was elected even, the party going against the president.

          I know western propaganda has trillions of USD behind it, but you don’t have to pay attention.

            They do often? Really? That’s why he’s been removed? Oh wait no he hasn’t. You don’t have to pay attention to Chinese propaganda either.

              Why would he be removed…?

              His ideas don’t always become policy, that’s a verifiable fact.

                Uhuh. Why might that be? If his ideas always become policy, that usually means something. You said they remove “him” all the time. I’m saying they dont

                  I said they don’t agree with him all the time, just like my previous comment states his policies do not always get passed, unlike a dictator.

                  Troll better next time.

                    Nah, that’s not what you said. It was a typo sure, but you can’t shit on me for the typo you made. You mean policies like mass censorship, mass surveillance, things like “Xi has centralized institutional power by taking on multiple positions, including new CCP committees on national security, economic and social reforms, military restructuring and modernization, and the internet.”

                    Very non dictatorial of him

        I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all the party members who aren’t loyal to him get charged with corruption and thrown in prison. All modern dictators put up a charade of legitimacy. Even North Korea pretends to have elections.

          Except … that doesn’t happen. Do feel free to fact check that bit of propaganda you’re repeating.
