The difference is that Xi is now the CEO.

What does that even mean? Do you think he personally plans and runs all of the public sector of the PRC that take's up over half of the economy?

Xi can disappear anyone he doesn't like. He doesn't need to personally oversee every company, the threat of being visited by police is enough to keep them in line.

None of it says Xi can kill anyone he likes, moreover this is BBC, which frequently pays to report anti-China propaganda regardless of validity.

Oh, so you noticed the US is bad, congratulations. Let me know when you realize China is just as bad.

It's not just as bad though, you're just a chauvinist.

> government runs half the economy

'But how is dear leader like a CEO, unless he signs every paycheck by hand?'

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The public sector has their own planners, Xi deals more with broad policies and decisions. That's like saying Biden is the "CEO" of Amazon, it doesn't make sense, plus the CPC heavily plans even the Private Sector. This is all in line with Marxism.

Who told you that?

Western supremacists think every country they're in a trade war with doesn't even elect their leaders.
