    Do you think those are sources? Pointing at the National Congress or the Central Committee as if those actually held any power is ludicrous.

        Official Chinese sources are unreliable when they spout bullshit like saying the rubberstamping meetup that happens once every blue moon that solely consists of party selected individuals is who holds the power instead of the much smaller group that actually actively controls legislation.

        But I guess political science is also exclusively western propaganda so there’s no choice but to believe a choppy power point presentation.

            Do you think that the only choices are between Chinese and US state propaganda?

            You don’t even need independent research to realize that a parliament that only meets once in a while to verify the work of a much smaller group can’t be the one that’s actually in power.

            If you look a bit more into it, you see that the members are replaced in fixed time spans, are all part of the same party, are picked from the top down and so it goes on.

            It’s not the organ with the actual power.
