CHINA ECONOMY China slams U.S. democracy as a ‘game of the rich,’ at an event promoting Xi’s growing power

 When in the future will China turn Democratic and free all of its people?

A top Chinese official gave a rare criticism of the U.S. and Western democracy during a politically significant press conference Friday.

The night before, Chinese President Xi Jinping joined the ranks of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping in becoming the country’s third leader to oversee the adoption of a “historical resolution.”

While criticizing Western political systems, Chinese officials on Friday promoted their country’s own agenda and emphasized new development models under Xi.
