When you change the rules so you can hold office longer than permitted in an authoritarian country that is an appropriate label for the dictator.

Nobody gives a single fuck though because it's hex bear
Very noticeable that they didn't specify how he wasn't a dictator, nor what other label would be more appropriate.

Hexbear users incoming in 3.2.1...
I use a client that can block instances, so I have all of Hexbear blocked. It radically improves the Lemmy experience.
We know a thing or two, because we've seen a thing or two
Hitler obviously wasn't a dictator as he was democratically elected by a majority (after competing parties were banned) and then -just out of situational necessity of course- got a lot of extra powers to ignore laws and constitution.
Yeah, I see how that Chinese definition works.
I love how every single comment making fun Xi the pooh here is getting downvoted lol
Here's a little something for the dictator simps:
Well that just goes to prove her point. Well done, Xi.
Overacting insecure jerk what Xi is
When the shoe fits, start wearing it. PRC is an authoritarian state led by a dictator and his cronies.
Most dictators haven't gone by that term, preferring instead some other executive role like chairman, supreme leader, or president. If Xi doesn't want to be called a dictator, maybe China should start holding open elections, see how popular the CCP really is.
The CCP has higher approval rates than western governments and the vast majority of Chinese believe they are living in a democracy. This is confirmed by western studies; latest one I've seen was from Harvard.
Oh-oh here Xi comes
Watch out boy, Xi'll chew you up
Oh-oh here Xi comes
Xi's a man eater
If any country knows what a dictator is, it's Germany.
Dictators were never good at hearing the truth.
Quit being a dictator. 🤷
Obviously he's not a "dictator", and that foreign minister should be sacked. Because Xi is a "supreme almighty emperor whose words are worth to be enforced or else..." A bit of background knowledge is never a bad thing.
The same government that presented another deal so good you couldn't refuse!
Have you tried not being an authoritarian PoS, Xi?
"Dictator" is such an ugly word. I prefer "Tyrant." It's much more damning.
