Beware the man who boasts he is modest.You are like those guys that says modesty is a Christian value, no modesty is a human value. Chinese are much more modest than Westerners, there are Chinese words, phrases without equivalent in English that would humble oneself.
To date, there are only two successful communist and dictatorship communities: the family and the monastery.Each according to his ability and according to need is common sense, not communism.
In the family, we have an absolute dictator: the father. The mother usually serves as the executor of the father's will and vision for the family. The children are intellectually and physically immature.
The monastery, which includes the nunnery, is the functional communist society. Inside, every person lives according to Marxism. It is voluntary to enter this society.
So how do you see the Chinese people? As children who needs absolute control from the Party? Or as volunteers in a grand Marxist society? We know how the Marxist experience turned out, do we?
Looks like you have an issue with freedom here, do you?
Sure...As to dictatorship, 人民民主专政, people's democratic dictatorship, why is this true? China isn't a monarchy or total dictatorship.
It's a non elected, BUT MERIT BASED selection process. This isn't Europe where dictatorship means rank based on birth. A beggar and a scholar would be judged on the basis of his merit not his class. Not that the two would have equal chance, the beggar is where he is and the scholar is where he is for the same reason they won't be judged similarly. BUT, talent isn't over looked. Of course there are other factors involved, but even in America, merit isn't the only thing on display.
Perfect example, Hu Jintao was as a youth an enemy of the state due to his father, in a western style dictatorship he shouldn't be where he is, but he is. That's because Chinese dictatorship means decision without committee, NOT APPOINTMENT WITHOUT VALID REASON.

Little miss Mingze is not out of school and already groomed to be the next President of China. I guess whatever 'valid reason' for that belief is not open to discussions by the Chinese people.Western media have reported that Xi Mingze, the daughter of Xi Jinping, who is widely expected to become the new president of China and chairman of its Communist Party, is studying at Harvard University under an assumed name.
