One of the reasons China gets things done.
- tehjoker 2y agochina has elections you know
- dijit 2y agoAny elections in the People's Republic of China occur under a one-party authoritarian political system controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It's not the same, and as a consequence of being one-party; means (like the parent suggests) they can be more long term focused, which seems to be working.
- PaulDavisThe1st 2y agoThere's still blame, but it is attached to people, not "the party" (at least not in terms of action taken to enforce blame).
- tehjoker 2y agoprefer this to allowing conservatives to have any power. why should guys doing the heil hitler salute get a turn at the wheel
- mattigames 2y agoSure, "elections", that's why Xi has been president for how many years already? I lost count
- InitialLastName 2y agoWhen the key criteria for leadership selection is alignment with a specific ideology, and that ideology is defined by a specific person, it's almost tautological that said person will end up in charge for as long as they'd like to be.
- thaumasiotes 2y agoMao Zedong: 1943 - 1976 (various titles?). He was sidelined around 1959 and staged a successful coup, retaking actual power, in 1966. Hua Guofeng: 1976 - 1981 Hu Yaobang: 1981 - 1987 Zhao Ziyang: 1987 - 1989. Removed from office for reasons related to the Tiananmen protests. Jiang Zemin: 1989 - 2002 Hu Jintao: 2002 - 2012 Xi Jinping: 2012 - present ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leader_of_the_Chinese_Communist_Party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leader_of_the_Chinese_Communis... ) So far he's in third place for length of service.
