He's not dictator-for-life, they simply don't have term limits.

  In theory yes, but in reality he faces no opposition and so will always be "re-elected".

    Don't they have elections? Maybe the people want him there, then.

      Only high up party members vote in China. And the party controls the count.

      I'm not 100% across Chinese politics, but from what I understand the Politburo[1] (where the top leaders sit, including Xi) are voted in by the Central Committee [1]. But the Central Committee isn't really an independent body, and the people who sit there are selected by the Politburo - effectively the Politburo members just vote themselves in. (P.s. as mentioned I'm not 100% across the politics in China so happy to be corrected) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politburo_Standing_Committee_of_the_Communist_Party_of_China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politburo_Standing_Committee_o...

      Is there not some sort of democratic structure that allows people to have a say in their government? If you took a survey of random Chinese people would they say Xi Xinping is some dictator that they don't want there?

        Everybody loves Brother Xi.
