I guess a company model does make sense considering the toilet paper ads
Comment on How does the Chinese government even work

Imagine China as a company. There is a board of directors, and Xi is the head of that board. The board runs a lot of lower ranking boards that control all the aspects of government operation.
Have a problem with your plumbing? Go to your local province or city board. A whole region experiencing drought? The regional board has an action plan that they impose on the local boards to implement with government regional help. Xi is responsible for steering the overarching policy of China moving forward as a country. His role is to say “make China control the South China Sea and receive deference from those countries” to the military, and then it’s there problem to figure out how to harass shipping.
You get promoted to higher boards for good work, and the board votes for its leader. Read Xi’s promotion history. I would die after that many years of office politics, myself.

This kinda makes sense. There are plenty of stories of Chinese officials overstepping.

Do not believe everything that you read, especially if it is history of very powerful persons.

I mean usually yes, but in the history in question here is public and very easy to confirm.

Of course it is easy, when 1 billion people would readily help you with confirming the right truth.

The Chinese aren’t as brainwashed or as stupid as you think they are.
