    IDK what 400 million people you’re talking about, considering there’s more people than that just in the demographic that’s retired and taking a pension in China, but I do know for sure tankies are a brainwashed hive mind. The Soviet Union coined a term for people like you, “useful idiots”.

      That’s the number of people involved in the CCP. That’s the number of people you believe are brainwashed, that you think have no internal dialogue, that you think have no critical thinking skills, that you think are either stupid or being forced to participate in what you call a dictatorship.

      If you think 400 million people can, without a single desertion, maintain a conspiracy to control the other billion in behalf of one or truly any number of people… You’re a maga Republican, conspiracy theories, etc. your thought process is no different.

        Oooooh. Those people. No, they aren’t brainwashed, they know exactly what they are doing. You don’t need to work very hard when you give people ultimate power.

          …they are voted into office or appointed by those voted into office. Every citizen has the right to vote. They are given power commiserate to their position. No one has ultimate power and anyone can have their power taken away at any time.

          Do you think xi was a appointed by dynasty or something?

          Do you just not know how governments work outside the US?

            Ok, now tell me, who is allowed to run in the election. What’s that? Only CCP party members? That’s unfortunate. Well, surely anyone can join the CCP, without needing the permission of current CCP leadership, right?

            Right? Because otherwise, it’s an oligarchy.

              … Yes anyone can join except convicted traitors. No, the contemporarily elected leadership did not personally vet 400 million people by hand. Do you understand how insane you sound?
