China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.

    No idea. I couldn’t even tell you that about my own country or the USA, you know that place that’s totally a democracy where they don’t count all the votes and keep the black people from voting with dirty tricks.

          So you claim that China is a democracy based on… having absolutely no knowledge of Chinese politics?

            Based on knowing the fact that China is a democracy.

              Hate to break it to you but China is a dictatorship. They don’t even pretend otherwise, the primacy of the Communist Party is literally part of their constitution.

                Do you know how many political parties there are in China?

      The general population does not vote for the presidency in China, the electors chosen by the CCP do. That is significantly less democratic than the US which is also not a very democratic country when it comes to the presidency.
