Calling Xi Jinping a dictator is now just a frame

No translation in your language yet — showing the English version

There is a saying from Laozi: "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao."
It means that if you define the Tao as the Tao, it is no longer the true Tao.
What this implies is that the value systems or ways of thinking we commonly perceive can change anytime and anywhere.
A representative example is the "ideal age for marriage."
Currently, South Korean society perceives marrying in one's early to mid-30s as normal.
However, even in the Middle Ages, it was common to marry in one's teens.
If a person from the Joseon Dynasty and a modern Korean were to have a deep conversation, they would be shocked.
Similarly, China and Xi Jinping have long faced claims of being a dictatorship or a dictator.
The grounds for this were long-term rule or the lack of proper separation of powers.
Human rights suppression was an added factor.
However, a surprising fact has emerged around the time of the recent Iran conflict.
Israel's Netanyahu has succeeded in long-term rule, and through judicial reform, the cabinet has begun to intervene in judicial decisions, thereby destroying the separation of powers; furthermore, by killing Palestinian and Iranian elementary school students indiscriminately, he has shattered these standards.
What is even more surprising is that the US, Germany, and South Korea/Japan—the leaders of liberal democracy—still recognize Israel as a democratic nation and do not spare any support for them.
The implication is clear.
The frame of dismissing China or Second/Third World countries as dictatorships has been completely broken. Conversely, they have now gained the right or justification to intervene in First World countries by demanding democratization.
How can China be criticized for human rights issues now?
They no longer have any leverage.
May the elementary school students of Minab, Iran, rest in peace.
