China does not have a democratically elected government. It has been a dictatorship since
1949.

Tell me what's 'democratic' about the West other than the fact we can 'democratically' elect our 'dictator'.

Once in office, who do they fear?

Obama has increased America's debt by 9 trillion dollars (though his election promise was to reduce it); Killary would almost certainly send us into WWIII had she been elected, (Trump may do the same)......this list could go on and on.............

We PUT these people into positions of power, thus essentially giving them a mandate to do anything they like for the 'good' of the country.

How many PEOPLE on this planet actually WANT this kind of 'democratic dictatorship'?

Big Deal ! China doesn't actually ELECT its government, but that's the only difference I can see from where I'm sitting.
