Is Xi Jinping an Outstanding Dictator?
This video explores the so-called successes of Xi Jinping's rule from his own perspective, including comprehensive control over public opinion, strong grip on the economy and enterprises, and diplomatic maneuvering. However, it also points out the deep crises that have followed, such as severe economic deflation, the collapse of birth rates, and high youth unemployment, analyzing how these policies, which seemingly consolidate power, ultimately become the gravediggers of the regime.

If you stand from the perspective of Xi Jinping, he is successful, and successfully so. He has achieved everything he believes can maintain the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He wanted to control public opinion, and now influential figures, media, and social platforms that strongly opposed him are all under his control; public opinion is uniformly praising the CCP. The term "democracy and freedom" has indeed been stigmatized. In the past, it was an absolutely correct term and a lofty ideal, but now, even when you go overseas, even on Twitter, even on YouTube, if you bring up the concept of democracy and freedom, a bunch of people will mock you as a "democratic school" (minxiao), and others will come up with arguments like "what we want is constitutionalism, not democracy" to refute you.
Under Xi Jinping's efforts, the word "democracy" has completely rotted in the mouths of the Chinese people. Xi Jinping's control over the economy and enterprises is also very effective. Entrepreneurs like Jack Ma who dared to challenge the state can no longer exist. As for economic development, it is moving entirely according to Xi Jinping's expectations; everything is developing high-tech, to the point of overcapacity. In diplomacy, Xi Jinping has also managed to leverage small advantages into big ones through rare earths; the United States is no longer the country that can unscrupulously export democracy and freedom in China. Xi Jinping believes that all obstacles that could affect the stability of the CCP and his rule have been cleared away one by one. The CCP also looks more powerful than ever before. But the biggest problem is that the economy has started to go bad.
China has begun to fall into unprecedented deflation, China's birth rate has begun to collapse, and youth unemployment continues to rise. So in this situation, do you think the CCP is more stable than it was ten years ago? Or is it more dangerous than it was ten years ago? I believe the answer must be that it is more dangerous. Everything Xi Jinping has done seems to have stabilized his rule and the rule of the CCP, but what about the future? These policies will all become his gravediggers. The economy he has crushed will eventually turn into Chinese people taking to the streets. Everyone will unite and personally push the CCP and Xi Jinping into the grave together. Xi Jinping's operations that seem to consolidate power are actually digging a huge pit for himself. The title of the "number one reverse-gear driver in history" is well-deserved.
