Going the same trajectory as Erdogan, Putin and all the other Mugabes of the world. After all the praise Chinese system got for rotating leaders. Sigh.

- vkou 9y agoDid it come from the people who were also convinced that capitalism will bring democracy to China? How has that experiment been working out, lately..? Dictatorships don't just magically arise. They start from a single-party political system with multiple powerful people engaged in a power struggle. Eventually, one of them wins the struggle, and purges the others. In 1917, nobody in charge of the Bolshevik party predicted that in 20 years, Stalin would kill all of them, and become a dictator.
- thriftwy 9y agoI don't know what "it" is that you are referring to, but they did change their leaders once every ten years. You make it sound like they had to choose between capitalism and democracy. In fact, they had neither. Former, they could implement by allowing things to happen. Latter, they could not get in any obvious way.
