Forget about soldiers able to vote for their general. The litmus test would and should have been about HOW CORPORATIONS ARE GOVERNED AND LED.

I have never once heard that successful companies should have been led by janitors and plumbers.
The argument is that employees and shareholders can vote with their fleet by leaving the company or selling shares. That's not usually a practical option for most citizens of any given country.

The best performing form of government is benevolent dictatorship, until it isn't. Liberal democracy is generally accepted as the best compromise, with the biggest strength being the ability to remove non performing leaders / governments, in theory at least and we know how well (edit) well or not that works out in real life.

I would really like to know what systems the CPC has to prevent incompetent / malevolent people from gaining powerful positions and abuse their power. I'm sure there are checks and balances in place, but it would be nice to know more.

While China has been blessed with competent leaders for decades, that shouldn't be taken for granted.

The EU's elitist mindset is equivalent to that of a spoiled brat. First they think when they punish with tariffs, it's because you're being bad therefore you have no right to retaliation. If they can't stop it, they think an appropriate retaliation to their tariff on Chinese EVs would be a China slapping the same exact kind of tariff on Europeans EVs. A tariff on anything else is wholly unfair on China's part.
