Firstly, these things do not think but regurgitate data they are trained on.

But to call China simply a dictatorship is grossly inadequate. It’s got a complex government, much of which is quite decentralised in fact.

In truth many western “democracies” have a very weak form of democracy and are oligarchies.

Well, not quite. Xi holds multiple government positions at once which has severely diminished the decentralization of the current administration.
