China is quite a responsive authoritarian gov. ,with clear red lines, but also a need to provide progess and respond to masses as they don't have legitimacy of a election.
For example: Shift away from zero-COVID policy after white paper *protests*(organic protests)
Veterans' grievances (2010s–2018): Persistent protests by demobilized soldiers over pensions/benefits led to the creation of a dedicated Ministry of Veterans Affairs in 2018 to better handle complaints and improve services.
While still authoritarian, Singapore, China's authoritarianism has refined itself over the years.
Unlike US where every succesive administration has narrowed the scope of topics of people's demand, now to just social personal life and economic personal life for the masses , and the mass societal war that is happening in usa and the fragmentation its causing and, each successive administration overall followed the continuity of same policy brochure until Trump.
What kind of democracy is this? Sure you can shout freedom, but even the mass protest in your country are not organic anymore, all require a powerful interest group organising them, initiating them, controlling its direction.
A system of elites fighting against each other, puppeting the broader population, forcing them to choose either one of the two lesser evils.
As time goes one, american democracy by outcome not by come freedom house report, is becoming more and more dysfunctional , due to capture by non state Intrest groups.
*Could've chosen*
Really in all that choas of revolution?
You talk like it was some candy shop.
You fault of 1979 give birth to islamists in Iran, not just than from 1979 to 2026 US has continued to be hostile to Iran and sanctioned it from, taking away any possibility of rising economic conditions and tame relationship giving rise to a more moderate take.
The chain exist, you country has been a active actor in the event from 1950s till now, and that is not including the current consequences of decades old actions .
*if they replaced him* most don't have a choice, its choas, due to a flimsy system.
George W. Bush
The "Downing Street Memo": A leaked 2002 memo from British intelligence revealed that "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy." It showed that Bush had privately decided to go to war months before telling the public, regardless of whether WMDs were found.
The "Grudge" Factor: Leaked memos from British Foreign Office director Peter Ricketts stated that the push for regime change "sounds like a grudge between Bush and Saddam,"
Barack Obama
The Libya Email Leak (Hillary Clinton): Leaked emails revealed that the 2011 regime change in Libya (which led to the brutal killing of Muammar Gaddafi) was pushed by the State Department not just for "human rights," but to prevent Gaddafi from creating a gold-backed African currency that would have threatened the US Dollar's dominance.
"Terror Tuesdays": As mentioned, Obama personally sat in the Situation Room every Tuesday to pick names for drone strikes. This "Disposition Matrix" (the Kill List) included American citizens. Critics called this "judge, jury, and executioner" behavior a radical expansion of presidential power
Donald trump
Don't need to say anything.
orange man is the most *open* in this psycho behaviour, rest all us presidents had hidden side.
And that's not including the still alive behaviour of usa as a state to cause millions suffering for its interest, Bangladesh is a recent example.
Really? You're using legacy Indian media as your reference?
Heh
Well, Here's some other examples.
