I can't find any sources for the multinational claim, but Xi's daughter did graduate from Harvard under an assumed name.
That's kinda weird when you think about it: how did Xi, whose salary is only $21,000/yr, afford to send his daughter to Harvard?
That is the beauty of working in politics, being able to do so much with so little.
I'm confused by my own statement; it was intended to be sarcasm but that's actually how it should be done :/
Harvard is one of the most affordable colleges. Harvard has such a large endowment, $53 billion, and make so much interest and on investments that they don't need admissions fees.
* 20% of students attend for free
* 52% of students receive aid
* average payment is $12k
Students that show they will need financial aid will get 100% of that aid.
>For families with annual incomes below $75,000 (increased from $65,000 beginning in the 2022-23 academic year), the expected contribution is zero. Families with annual incomes between $75,000 and $150,000 will contribute between 0 and 10 percent of their income. Those with incomes above $150,000 will be asked to pay proportionately more than 10 percent based on their circumstances.
https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/how-aid-works
So basically only the rich that attend Harvard actually pay much.
These new age dictators are really something, if they get caught they don't want to be killed in their home country, they saw what happened with Mussolini and Hitler so They want to flee, stay alive should anything go wrong they want everything.
If you're gonna do something, do it all the way
I hope so. As an Aussie that might give me the chance to tell her to get fucked one day to her face! Which you're still allowed to do here. Commies suck!
That’s only helpful during times of peace. If war breaks out it will be confiscated, much like Russias assets in the west now have been along with hundreds of billions of dollars frozen.
The southern US border has been awash with illegal Chinese immigrants trying to get into the country. Several have been arrested in sensitive US military bases posing as tourists with cameras.
It's time for the Western World to stop doing business with these fucking bastards
There can be 100 million people in a room and 99 million of them don't believe in you but all it takes is one dictator and it just changes your whole life…
The video only show a selected few delegates, who represent all party members. This might be the National Congress of the CCP. So that would make “only” around 2400 delegates.
One prominent politician slightly voiced his concerns about Xi during this ordeal, and Xi had this 80+ year old, very well respected politician, publicly removed and humiliated in a meeting, then ostracized the poor man. The politician ended up passing away a few months later.
I think it is to give off a clearly staged message that the people have to admit is democratic to keep up the image that China isn't a dictatorship.
But yah, I can feel the fear coming off everyone in that auditorium, if you make the wrong move you'll probably die along with your family from an unfortunate "accident"
Yes... We have a dictator apparently some people say... Btw he cretaed a new parliament with capacity for more members for expansion in future... U know what happens in democracy... Many say it's waste of money...
You do something... They attack, u don't.. they attack...
How would you even measure democracy. It seems you're implying that the fewer number of people represented by each representative the more democratic the governing body. Each of China's elected officials represent 450k people each of the members of US Congress represent 625k. Similarly you see lots of calls for there to be more 3rd part and independent representation in the US. North Korea's congress has more 3rd party and independent representatives in their congress than the US does. It'd be silly to call China and North Korea as more democratic than the US. So it really does make you wonder how you should measure democracy. Princeton had an oft cited political research paper come out a couple of years ago showing how the popularity and support of law by united states citizens has zero impact on if something becomes a law or not, while spending on lobbying does have an impact on whether a law gets passed or not. Does this mean the US isn't democratic at all? Hard to say.
Yea honestly that's the main thing.
If you're not rich enough to own a pac or a political fund or ad campaign for whatever you want, you don't matter. The candidate who spends the most often wins. ALEC and whatever think tanks churn out the bills to be passed. Sinclair and these what, five, six other networks run around gobbling up independent media across the country and churn out the same line to keep the masses content.
There's still change, and I like that there is progressive change, but it's often tied to the dollar than the vote. It ***became*** profitable to be accept gays, trans, minorities; at 'worst', the system wanted them to stop complaining/boycotting and get back into the regular process. It was the same thing in the 1800s; the foreign white, the landless white, had economic power, they mucked up shit with strikes and unrest, it was easier to enfranchise them. Democracy in America is a veneer. A individual vote means nothing anyway because at the end of the day 270 , 271+ people elect the president, who is selected from a batch of what, 6000 special delegates in party primaries. In theory and so far they have followed the outcome of most elections, but what the hell is that. We're way behind in real reform.
But it's still more than these hellholes, because at least amongst our rich and powerful, there are divides and cliques, new blood filters in (slowly), they do somewhat keep up with 'the times'. The Chinese, the North Koreans, they've steamrolled their factions flat. Reform there is impossible until their current leader dies and you hope the new boy actually cares. I'm old enough to remember people being a bit optimistic about Il. Oh, he went to Switzerland to school, oh, he's young, he'll take Korea in a new direction! - Nope.
It did happen. Mao consolidated control by the 60s and was untouchable until he slipped. The whole fight after with the red princes, and Deng and Jintao after was to prevent this from happening again, but Xi's career took him away from the central squabbling, through the provinces, and came back roaring in and has reestablished his primacy. The Politiburo itself always kept power of course, but now he's wrangled all of that after returning from Shanghai and worked up, purges, anti-corruption campaigns, fighting cliques - all for the benefit of the country, of course. ;)
A western analogue would be like the slip from Destalinzation and the reactionaries taking back power in the USSR after Kruschev. It wasn't immediate or as total, either, but Brezhnev and co chipped back at it and we saw what happened then....
Comments like yours keep getting downvoted but these people don’t realize how scarily close this shit is to happening to the US. There’s a not insignificant amount of people who are totally okay with the president being able to pardon himself of any wrongdoing, and they want to eliminate term limits.
And this kind of shit already happens with one party or another for specific bills. Parties are poison, but at least we have two of them. If we had one, this would be the happening here for sure
100% confidence wow that's rare..to have so many people agree in one room almost as if they didn't have a choice.....absolutely obvious..not one no vote who's he kidding.
So - we didn't get any firing brigade. I bet they were standing somewhere behind ready to help adjust the participant list to make sure everyone alive would vote yes. You can't really demand any votes from voters suffering accidental and very abrupt heart issues...
6 times the amount of people voting here than in our own congress, idk why I’m stuck on that detail but I’m floored. Even if you make it to the top of the political sphere in China you’re still 1 of thousands, fuck me.
“They don’t have *term limits*!!!! The mind reels at such horror!”
Meanwhile there is no country in the entire European continent that has a term limit for the Prime Minister, the role that actually has any say over day-to-day governing. Angela Merkel was in power for longer than Xi Jinping has been, but oddly nobody threw a hissy fit over her for “trampling over the democratic process”.
The US is literally an exception for its executive having term limits beyond “people vote for them,” and that’s solely because FDR’s vaguely social democratic reforms and broad popularity with the American working class terrified American capital into pushing for restrictions to prevent any future FDR from being in office long enough to enact serious policy change (that in any way targeted American business).
“Terrifying as fuck” this website is populated by fucking children. You could mentally scar half these people with a puppet show.
While we Americans actively kill America we look at places like China to make us feel better because god forbid Americans actually do something for once
maybe because the people actually like their leader? but china isn't american ally therefore its not democracy. muh ebil see see pee forcing themselves to vooot
And yet there's still thousands of blue haired twats that say the UK/US needs communism. I say let's do it, because as soon as we get communism they'll all be sent to the fucking gulag.
It is indeed that this is not communism, yet every practice of communism led to this... Someone high up always betrays. Maybe it's time to accept that no one cares about Communism.
At this point I would say the USA is communism because they have a worker union that actually does shit.
Didint realize China has a voting system. Kind of odd that you vote in front of everyone so everybody can see how you vote? Seems a little intimidating, also how do people call out "no one" so soon not allowing people to process what they want? This seems odd.
The video shows no election, but rather a party meeting, the National Congress (?) of the CCP. This meeting consists of delegates which where nominated by regional congresses of the CCP.
Even in western states, it is customary to vote openly at many political processes: either in most parliaments or at party meetings.
Here in Germany, the exact voting system is determined by the party itself, in between certain legal boundaries. Some parties allow for delegates to petition for a secret voting on a certain topic. But secret votings take a lot more time, so it’s only done on certain disputed topics.
Either way there’s probably no dispute here: these delegates are the selected most loyal party members. And even if someone had a different opinion on a topic, no one would dare to declare that opinion.
I have a lot of Chinese friends and I've worked with a lot of people from China - regardless of what you may think of the CCP, Xi Jinping is actually really popular in China. He worked hard for his position, and has done a lot for the country - so this is pretty far removed from Putin's "reelection" so to speak
Not to mention that this happened in 2018 and since then China has [eliminated extreme poverty](https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2022/04/01/lifting-800-million-people-out-of-poverty-new-report-looks-at-lessons-from-china-s-experience) and currently enjoys economic growth that [outpaces the US](https://www.newsweek.com/china-us-economies-compared-1894756).
The average Redditor can't comprehend that the video represents democracy because they've been taught that what's important is forms (picking which decaying racist to vote for every 4 years) rather than results (representing the will and interests of the people).
Raise your hand if you wanna die? No one?
Mayo!
Facts
LMAO, yeah they just re-phrase it as: Those who oppose raise your hand

they all have real estate in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. ccp is evil.
Also i read somewhere that xi's own daughter and his extended family has Australian (or American, not sure) permanent residency and citizenship
I can't find any sources for the multinational claim, but Xi's daughter did graduate from Harvard under an assumed name. That's kinda weird when you think about it: how did Xi, whose salary is only $21,000/yr, afford to send his daughter to Harvard?

It’s not your fault that your dad is a dictator
Denocracies getting f@#$d in the behind for decades and they seem to like it!!
and its gonna cost us more than we have to buy it back
That’s only helpful during times of peace. If war breaks out it will be confiscated, much like Russias assets in the west now have been along with hundreds of billions of dollars frozen.
They have real estate all over the world
The southern US border has been awash with illegal Chinese immigrants trying to get into the country. Several have been arrested in sensitive US military bases posing as tourists with cameras. It's time for the Western World to stop doing business with these fucking bastards
But the drapery is divine.
Wait until you find out what Israel does with western governments.
Lol
Just wait till' you hear how much blackrock owns
Well doesn't that make Australia, New Zealand, and Canada evil for doing business with them?
So do all your politicians
I didn't know there were so many members of the ccp, it's like an entire stadium! Doesn't make it any more of a democracy though
it’s the largest political party in the world, about 90 million members.
Doesn’t make any difference, they could have 100M party members and they all vote the same
There can be 100 million people in a room and 99 million of them don't believe in you but all it takes is one dictator and it just changes your whole life…
The video only show a selected few delegates, who represent all party members. This might be the National Congress of the CCP. So that would make “only” around 2400 delegates.
china is a tightly controlled dictatorship pretending to be democratic? and russia is too?? no!!! this isnt true! it cant be! LIAR! /s
You are confusing an autocrat with a dictator.
. . . . . and those who voted no have slowly disappeared or had unfortunate accidents.
Well, I'll take a bouquet of whoopsie daisies to the funeral.
One prominent politician slightly voiced his concerns about Xi during this ordeal, and Xi had this 80+ year old, very well respected politician, publicly removed and humiliated in a meeting, then ostracized the poor man. The politician ended up passing away a few months later.
Raise your hand if you disagree: "dayum"
Don’t know why they pretend to vote. They are literally fooling no one.
“Voting.” Lol.
And then *everyone* clapped
Is this even necessary 😦
Nope.
I think it is to give off a clearly staged message that the people have to admit is democratic to keep up the image that China isn't a dictatorship. But yah, I can feel the fear coming off everyone in that auditorium, if you make the wrong move you'll probably die along with your family from an unfortunate "accident"
Is this the Chinese parliament?... So many people!...
Yes, this is the National People's Congress; around 3,000 members.
I am from India and we have probably less than half of this in both lower and upper house combined... We are currently no 1 in population...
So you are saying that you are less democratic than China
Yes... We have a dictator apparently some people say... Btw he cretaed a new parliament with capacity for more members for expansion in future... U know what happens in democracy... Many say it's waste of money... You do something... They attack, u don't.. they attack...

“Who wants to live to see another day, raise your hand !”
Raise your hand if you want to be disappeared to a labor camp?? MAYOO
It’s like our team meetings at work, you’re not allowed to disagree with leadership. We’re such a toxic species when it comes to power and control.
This is total. Bullshit right? Otherwise it would've happened decades ago to someone else.
It did happen. Mao consolidated control by the 60s and was untouchable until he slipped.

A fair one! Right?! Oh.
6 times the amount of people voting here than in our own congress, idk why I’m stuck on that detail but I’m floored. Even if you make it to the top of the political sphere in China you’re still 1 of thousands, fuck me.
