“You’re trying to massage the idea that a leader for life, who can never be removed because no other party can have a seat in their congress, is a functioning democracy? Really? What a hill to die on.”
Will you admit you were wrong or will you deny your own words?
Xi Jinping cannot be removed from power and his party cannot lose control of congress
You are conflating two entirely different things here.
One is whether Xi Jinping can be removed from power, which he absolutely can by the congress and the party choosing not to re-elect him. Whether or not this will happen depends on how well he does his job and when he will become too old to be fit to govern.
Another is whether the Communist Party of China can lose control of congress, something which it can only do if the people lose confidence in their rule. China as a socialist state of course has it enshrined in law that the reins of power will always be held by the Communist Party. That is a good thing.
The Communist Party represents the working class and the working class is in charge under socialism. That is called the dictatorship of the proletariat and it’s what socialism is about. Sorry but we are communists here and we are not going to make excuses for liking the fact that communists rule in a communist country.
The approval rating of the CPC government among the Chinese people is over 90% even according to western studies and polls by the way. Why remove a leader and a ruling party when by all metrics they are doing a fantastic job?
Literally you two comments ago:
Will you admit you were wrong or will you deny your own words?
Ah right, that’s fair, feels odd that you’d quote me further back in response to a newer comment. You know that was literally a week ago?
But no, my point still stands, Xi Jinping cannot be removed from power and his party cannot lose control of congress.

Xi Jinping won with 100% of the congressional vote, I’m not conflating anything here.
The CPC is corrupt as fuck, they’re not representing the interests of all the districts much less the lower class.
He’s a dictator who cannot ever be removed from power.
