    Democracy isn’t just elections. The URSS had elections and they were not democratic.

      They weren’t a liberal democracy, which is different, they very much were a socialist democracy.

          It’s definitely better than what you have in the US, which whatever it is, it’s not a democracy.

            The US absolutely has its own set of issues, but I’m still not clear why you are unable to address the initial points made in regards to Xi and China and have instead changed the discussion to US flaws.
