Good first point, although the CCP is very full of their progress, and don't believe democracy has anything going for them by comparison for a moment, right now

Good first point, although the CCP is very full of their progress, and don't believe democracy has anything going for them by comparison for a moment, right now.
Good second point, too; he's definitely far removed from the masses now. So he isn't likely to be the change.
Innovation by democracies - eminently disorganized societies for better and worse - could indeed be an existential threat to China's system (not the people) if China loves "harmony" just a little too much. (Harmony being their term, and not an entirely bad one.)
