Do you have any evidence of disinformation campaigns being directed by Xi towards political opponents internally within China or are you talking out of your ass

Where did I say that there were disinformation campaigns directed against Xi?

I’ve just said it’s possible to rig elections every so often. Surely that isn’t an objectionable idea to you?

Well you called Xi a dictator, which is a pretty big claim.

If you can evidence that it would be great, from my understanding China is a democratic centralist country that has popular support from the billion+ people living there.

Biden said he was a dictator. I asked how he was not a dictator.

Which two arguments am I conflating here?

You yourself say that you cannot sustain any disinformation campaign indefinitely, even if they might be successful for the occassional vote. So, using your own logic these hypothetical disinformation campaigns you’re doing hand wringing over don’t actually matter in the grand scheme of things.

You are making a disingenuous argument that ignores the entire point I made.

Disinformation campaigns do matter if you’re only having occasional votes - you can slip through a bad decision every once in a while. If you vote on everything, then it wouldn’t matter, because you’ll have a vote in review where the flawed vote would be corrected.
