The truth is more nuanced than you would imagine. China’s government, though pontificating Marxist ideology and the supremacy of the great leader, is actually quite close to the governments China had under previous dynasties, with petty party and PLA leaders at all levels playing their own game for the benefit of their family and close associates.
