To those who are not familiar with the election system in China, please take note that all Chinese leaders start working from the lowest level in their respective towns. And it takes probably around 30 years to rise up to be president of China. Not only that, if I am not wrong, to be president of China, he or she MUST have a successful record of running a province with a population of at least 80 millions. So only the best of the best can be president of China. Their system is democracy with meritocracy. It is the best system in the world. Who say China does not have democracy ?

This is so much different from other western system where a clown 🤡 or actor can be president. And once these clown becomes president, the country suffer as you can see these in many countries in EU.
