    So I still don’t see any evidence of Xi being a “strongman,” but instead an extremely popular and influential leader.

      You’re whole persona is pushing the party line and pushing back against any dissent. I didn’t expect you to see any evidence.

        “Uhh well you’re a commie, I don’t need to present any evidence because you wouldn’t listen anyway!”

          No, Cowbee in particular. I get along quite nice with communist for the most part.

            You gave me nothing to work with, though. What does it mean to be a “strongman,” and how does that apply to Xi? How is it that my “thing” is “following the party line?” I do have opinions pretty typical to communists, and I support existing socialism, but I’m not a member of the CPC nor am I paid by them, and I do critique them. Just because I do not agree with all critique of the CPC does not mean I don’t agree with any.

        You never gave any. I’ve done years of reading too, and have a different conclusion, so if you aren’t going to offer any evidence then there’s no reason for me to go along with what you’re saying.
