I've lived in Beijing, and the thing is - they don't have elections.
Newsmax talking head: "I've lived in Beijing. I can say the elections in Beijing are much better than California and the United States."

Susan Collins could have insisted on guardrails or measures to rein in abuses. She didn’t and now her state is being terrorized by ICE.
Good News!!! Elon Musk could face criminal charges in Wisconsin after a bipartisan elections panel determined that he likely violated state law by handing out $1 million checks to voters during the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court election.
One of Arizona's largest reservoirs is nearly empty, triggering a massive, 100% fish die-off and forcing an indefinite closure. New satellite images from NASA's Landsat satellites have revealed a stark reality for Arizona's San Carlos Reservoir, which has plummeted to less than 1% of its capacity.
