You might have misunderstood my point, too. A lot of Chinese were talking down democracy has having a lot of disadvantages. I was pointing out that, as far as the leadership is concerned, a democracy is a lot more benign than a lot of other systems when they get around to kicking you out.
Historically around the world, comfortably retired national leaders who write books and play golf are not a very large class.
