When will the Chinese people get the leaders they need and deserve?
This question is asked by a Westerner for sure.

From a Westerner's point of view, you think that the Chinese are mostly unhappy with Xi Jinping and the current leadership.

So you think China deserves better leaders.

However, you should look beyond your own frame of reference to understand that the majority of Chinese people are happy with Xi Jinping and the current leadership.

Xi Jinping continues to make China prosper and to bring growth to the Chinese economy as a whole. Chinese people are rising out of poverty at an incredible rate and a true middle class has emerged in China.

The Chinese believe that the decline of the West is due to democracy. So they don't want a system that they think is economically inferior to their own.

It is certain that the Chinese system allows planning long-term projects allowing to transform the Chinese economy. The West has more difficulty in doing this because of partisan quarrels that slow down long-term projects.

The Chinese people are therefore satisfied as a whole. They don't want anything more than what they already have in terms of leadership. You will have to upgrade your frames of reference by understanding that there are several!
