  Well he’s incredibly popular, so probably quite long unless he starts fucking up or gets coup’d by capitalists.

  Unlike Hu Jintao’s path, he isn’t struggling to manage the contradictions between the interests of the national bourgeoisie against those of the working class.

      I’d examine why you think that’s how China works, but we’re at conspiracy-theory level nonsense where you’ll just keep making up shit to justify your original position.

      Instead lets stay on solid ground: What policies or actions has Xi Jinping taken that you feel hurt his popularity? (Or would have, if everyone in China wasn’t afraid to say so for fear of getting disappeared)

        The social credit score system is pretty effective at ensuring everyone says they like Xi.

    Of course the authoritarian cunt who mandates his servant-citizens like him.

    Hitler is popular as well, I suppose that means he deserves our respect right?
