That's still an ignorant outsider's perspective. You should read up on the Politburo Committee to get a better idea.
i am not sure i agree with your trickle-down philosophy. it has never worked in the west .. it's a mirage that the elite have foisted on the plebs. it serves to more quickly widen the gap between rich and poor .. and ultimately will erode democracy as the richest gain more power .. tending to push india into a corporatocracy like the west.
your point re obedience in china is valid. china is just one person: xi. he doesn't want diversity .. which ultimately will not stand the test in time. and besides, he won't be at the helm forever (if only bc nobody lives forever), and his successor probably won't be as skilled at suppressing the masses. >


china is just one person: xi

There are 1.4 billion humans in China, maybe let's tone down the casual dehumanization of non-western people >

i wasn't making a statement about non-western people. it was an observation about the government of china .. i.e. xi .. which also happens to be quite different to most of the rest of the world, including other asian nations. 
and for that matter, i wasn't even making a statement about the rest of the 1.4B .. only about its autocratic leader
