China's Xi Wins Constitutional Backing for New Strongman Era

Kinda not really keen on its perverse use of title with "Strongman". China makes up 1.38 billion people of the world's population and the over generalizations of the article don't highlight the issues that China faces in the coming few decades and the need for a unified leadership. Coming from the US's perspective, it's very hard to write a cohesive article that accurately reflects China, to be honest. Additionally, I think anyone from a high-density urban center like New York has a tough time taking into perspective how wide the country's foot-print is across Asia.

I may be equally unqualified, but its a pretty terse way to write about our largest economic party in the world.

I mean, you can always read the Chinese press if you want a counter opinion. Here, global times:

Let me warn you, however, that the worst kind of western media bias is to directly quote a chinese media article, as it gives a drastically more worse impression of China than the west ever could.
