There's probably more disagreement within the Chinese government than between the two dominant parties of each of the western powers.

Perhaps, but you wouldn't know it, and the results sure aren't felt domestically or internationally.

Everyone knows when people disappear or get "nicely escorted" from party meetings. /s

I am guessing the comment above somehow meant that more infighting within a gang of literal criminals who put themselves in power and clearly struggle to maintain it means the gang is somehow better than a democratic government? But I cannot see the logic

[throwaway290]

Yes of course. Because those disagreements are about how to stay power really, and something else for looks.
