Under a two-party rule, this is the eventual outcome, the same as in the USA. And it is the same elsewhere and everywhere. Thomas Paine had this to say - 'Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; at its worst state, an intolerable one'.
So, what is the difference between Governments in democratic countries and that in autocratic states? We could be blinded just by definition alone, calling one the good guy and the other the bad guy. There are bad Governments in a democracy as well as good Government in an autocracy. The criterion is how they treat the people and whether the Government's priority is lifting people out of poverty to enjoy a better life. Some African countries are thinking much more rationally than we have given them credit for.
But the show must go on, and we must keep flogging the dying democratic horse as the system that is best suited for everyone.

The USA takes good care of its people. It gives them opportunities to own guns for protection, meaning that USA is so unsafe that the Government has the people's interest at heart by providing them the means for protection. It also gives them a choice to live on the streets, gloating that it is just a lifestyle choice. Nice try to get rid of responsibilities. It must be really fun living on the streets with everything free - rent, utilities and toilets just at every street corner. And of course, USA citizens also have the freedom to vote for the right or the left hand of the Deep State.
Chinese have no such freedom of choice and are stifled. The Government does not give them the opportunity to own guns. Not that guns are needed anyway, but China is so safe that even female foreigners are free to walk around at midnight without fear of muggings or being accosted. So, forget about owning guns in China. The Government is against freedom of choice. The Chinese government is also being cruel by not allowing Chinese citizens to live a lifestyle of choice on the streets. How the Chinese people are suffering by being forced to live in cheap houses or paying cheap rentals as well.
Oh, lest I forget, Chinese citizens have no right to vote to be screwed by the right or the left hand every four years as in the USA. I just wonder whether that is a boon or a bane? But as long as the Hillbillies like it, what does it matter, right?
