The difference is that China has a dictator who needs to continually prove to the Chinese people why they shouldn't overthrow him, while the US has a dictator whose democratic election gives him the permission to do whatever the hell he wants to for 4 years.

Do you remember that China only allowed its dictator to rule for 10 years and that the current dictator/sycophants removed that term limit?

Do you think America is on the same trajectory where the 4 year term limit could be amended via politics and coups? Like the one attempted on Jan 2021?

Why does the Chinese leader need to continually prove himself or else the population will overthrow him? Why do you think the Chinese people are just waiting to press the trigger on revolution? You can get to awful conditions and people still won't revolt.
