Not disagreeing with you that their is real innovation going on in China (I think there is), but I don't think this is a great example. The US Congress and President Obama are all elected officials, whereas Xi Jinping and the CCP are not.
Electing your own leaders is a pretty big deal, thus the protests in Hong Kong.

Tons of Americans don't bother to even vote, and when they do they vote for the same old shit parties, that are very much alike except for some token issues.
