This is a highly reductive way of putting it but there are multiple factors. 1. City and local governments are elected to move up past that you have to show competency. 2. Switching leaders every 4 years especially like in the US has only lead to both sides blocking each other from getting much done. This is intentional in the US and mostly there to claim blame because there are certain things that the government can easily do like bombing most countries on earth. But god forgive we want healthcare or trains. 3. They don't want to give the US the chance to interfere with their policies or elections as they have with basically every other socialist government in history. 4. Even a Harvard study has concluded that 95% of respondents in 2016 were somewhat or highly satisfied with the central government in Beijing. (46)

Can you explain how it is a dictatorship with specific reference to how the Chinese government functions (law, distribution of power)? I see it more like democracy at local government levels and a meritocracy at a higher level, which doesn't really fit with the dictatorship narrative. (8)

Well that's a bit rude, considering I'm not American. If you don't think Xi appointed the members, I got news for you and I question your understanding of the system and its realities. Oh it was the central committee that selected them? Hmmm who's in the central committee? Not all loyalists, right? Hmmm Xi didn't have anti corruption campaigns to weaken the factions, no not at all. No, he never broke existing age limit rules, right? Don't be silly. And again, I'm not even arguing the US system is wrong. The two just have entirely different incentives. (1)

And how many terms did Angela Merkel serve? People didn't b-word about it then, why is it a problem now? Besides, it's their country, their system, and their people seem satisfied with their system. Mind your own business. They don't tell you how your system should be run. Manifest destiny died some time ago. (8)
