Xi is in power of similar level since 2007.

He has been in high power positions since 1985.

Which is the year McFucknugget became a senator.

A far better comparison would be Biden. He has been in power since forever.

Or Kissinger. But we dont want to put Pooh next to actual monsters, do we?! That could put a bad light on the Honey Papa, wouldnt it?

What? Biden, Kissinger, what year is it?

I don't know a single person in the US who has unilateral control over anything. Hell, none of the US people mentioned can consistently get anything done.

And the CIA had to repeatedly send memos to Cold War presidents telling them Stalin wasn't an absolute dictator that could do anything he wanted on word alone.

But I'm sure Xi has more direct control. Definitely no bureaucratic manuevering involved in 2025 China.
