Xi JingPing to rule for longer

[mindlight]

The leader of the second most powerful country in the world looks like to stay in office for longer than the normal 10 years allowed for Chinese Presidents.

Good or bad? What will that mean for the West? Is he really as good as the presidents who came before him and who left after 10 years?

We shouldn't have had to pick between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton when a clear majority would have been happy to give Obama another four years.

[High Fidelity]

He is just another Putin. So good for him, bad for the billions in China and the rest of the world.

Im curious: do you still think China and Russia have "strong, very able leaders"?

You don't have to answer the "china" part of the question if the answer would get you put in prison.

The principle that only the strong and able
make it to the top in a communist country
holds true. Sometimes that person may overstay
their time.

It is still a mystery.
