Of course China was never going to abandon dictatorship. Politically communist; economically capitalist - a contradiction of sorts - Chinese people, like Russia, are more in bed with dictatorship than with democracy.

Now that presidential term limit has been removed, the president can effectively rule for life with uncontrolled powers.

More human rights abuses in the horizon. More headache for the western world, and more economic exploitation of Africa.
