Comment on When a country is ruled by a dictator, does it matter which party he belongs to?

I think China in a way is democratic as long as you have allegiance to Xi Jinping. So as long as two people have opposing policies that neither of them contradict “Xi Jinping thought”, then there is some choice I guess?

How is it democratic though? There is some policy deliberation yes but that’s not what democracy means.

    OK fair enough. I think I get what you mean. China has more of an elaborate bureaucracy than the typical dictatorship. I’m not sure what word best describes this model.

    I didn't post the link to refute anything, just providing information.
