    The President of China hasn’t changed in ten years

    Germany had the same president for 16 years. Canada had the same one for 9.

    Maximum term limits in the US is eight years

    What the fuck are you talking about? Free democracy is when your leader changes every two years?

      I think you didn’t read the whole comment. My point was that a one party system can’t be called a free democracy. While eight other minor parties exist in China, they must

      accept the “leading role” of the CCP as a condition of their continued existence

      Free democracy is when anybody can make a political party and they have an equal change of winning or losing, ie no ‘special privileges’ like the CCP has.

      Look I know we like to simp for China here on hexbear, but we shouldn’t blatantly ignore it’s flaws. Anyway hope this answered atleast some of your questions. Peace ✌️
