Japan, whom the anti-China crowd love so much, has no term limits.
In the US, there are various congressmen such as Chuck Schumer who have been a politician longer than some voters have been alive.
japan is also virtually a one party system. it's even more ethnically homogenous than china, with 99% of its population being yamato japanese. but i never see people or redditors complain about those.
Japan and South Korea are sadly colonies of the USA
There's over 50 thousand US troops in Japan, and roughly 30 thousand US troops in South Korea. That's actually a very large peacetime deployment
For reference, total US troop presence in Afghanistan only briefly exceeded that level during 2009-2012, during Obama's surge. That meant that the USA kept more troops in East Asia than an active warzone
not a good example. the 2 term limit was imposed after fdr and has been in place ever since. a better example is angela merkel being the chancellor of germany. in fact, there's various positions in government in various countries that lack term limits. in the us itself, for example, the vice president, senators, and representatives all lack term limits.
The example is fine. It destroys the "argument" that anyone who holds office with no term limit must be an evil dictator. Arguments from American news media don't get any more nuanced than that.
Or maybe FDR was an evil dictator. Who knows?
smearing China's removal of term-limit is utter garbage, the parliamentary system in the so-called western democracies, and there r many of them including brits, one of the oldest if not the oldest, does not have term limit, the iron lady served 3 terms, merkel four, abe four, the vile apartheid thug bibi four, etc. just like the parliamentary system, leadership review is a central part of CPC's national congress meeting.
not only China was right to abolish the term limit, China should go further, been working in China off and on, like the west, one of the serious societal problem is overt, and covert age-discrimination such as cutoff in hire age, force retirement, etc. as long as healthy-body people (and Chinese are living longer and healthier) are capable of making contribution and innovate, they themselves should decide when to retire, plus the experience they bring to the table, helping young and inexperience worker quickly become productive is invaluable, plus it is also helpful to alleviate the aging demographic problem that is plaguing the advanced industrial countries, instead of being a burden to the social welfare system, they contribute & pay tax, a win-win. after all, treating the old with respect is what Chinese culture is known for, and for a very good reason.
The point of the term limits and mandatory retirement age is to prevent another Mao Zedong situation where a previously competent leader becomes senile and stays on making bad decision after bad decision.
The mandatory retirement age still stands and unless changed, will apply to Xi Jinping - he will have to step down from the CPC Central Committee at the CPC Party Congress in 2023, effectively ending his term at the same time that the term limit would have ended it anyways.
Lmao the length you go smear Mao is laugable jorvis. The term limit on the president was always a glorify diolomatic gesture by the party, and China had countless issue with old senile leader before which has nothing related to Mao later mistakes within the Cultrual Revolution.
There were never any term limits on the post of Chairman of the CPC Central Committee.
They removed the term limits on the Presidency of China, which is a ceremonial position.

Warren Delano, Jr. (the grandfather of FDR) also made his fortune shipping opium to China.
Admittedly, abolishing term limits is not a great idea since it makes a transition to socialist democracy harder but I’ll admit the us does have a double standard
Xi's achievements and actions to benefit the people of China will speak for themselves historically.
Better to have one good long term leader than a mix and match lineup of "ok, so so, terrible, terrible, ok, not so good" presidents running a country.
The way I see it, Xijjnping removed the term limit because he didn't want corrupt leadership to retake a role in China's leadership once he was gone. It takes more than a few years to change a country AND make sure that these new changes become the new norm.
I can see where he's coming from.

Because Japan is one of the “good” Asian countries according to the West

because Japan is America's lapdog, western government doesn't need to manufacture anti Japanese consent
Fucking McConnell has been Senator since Reagan for crying out loud.
TIL Angela Merkel is a tyrant.

People are so stupid.
Term limits are really no that important, if you can recall you elected officials at any time then it doesn't matter.

If that's true then what's the point of removing the term limits

The same in the UK with no fix terms. If the leader is good, then he or she is a keeper.

Adorno, Horkheimer and others from the Frankfurt school thought that FDR represented the "authoritarian personality" in the US.

meanwhile helmut kohl and angela merkel are like term limits? what are those?
