Just years of reading. That you bring up the anti-corruption campaign means you’re at least familiar with allegations that Xi unevenly applied the campaign against his political opponents. As a side not, I’ll say the anti-corruption campaigns in China are definitely popular and also one clear situation where improvements in computer technology made a major advance in society and peoples quality of life. Corruption of low level officials was hard to root out when the people would be making complaints to other corrupt low level officials and risking retaliation in the process. Computer technology helped bypass that.
You never gave any. I’ve done years of reading too, and have a different conclusion, so if you aren’t going to offer any evidence then there’s no reason for me to go along with what you’re saying.
You gave me nothing to work with, though. What does it mean to be a “strongman,” and how does that apply to Xi? How is it that my “thing” is “following the party line?” I do have opinions pretty typical to communists, and I support existing socialism, but I’m not a member of the CPC nor am I paid by them, and I do critique them. Just because I do not agree with all critique of the CPC does not mean I don’t agree with any.
Just as long as they support the worker class instead of brutalize them. Just as long as political power belongs to the people and not to the party elite.
The classic thing where you think you’re owning communism by describing capitalismwoth communist terms. Meanwhile, people in communist countries (especially those with the power to resist our imperial fuckery 🇨🇳)are quite content with the governments they run.

So I still don’t see any evidence of Xi being a “strongman,” but instead an extremely popular and influential leader.
You’re whole persona is pushing the party line and pushing back against any dissent. I didn’t expect you to see any evidence.

You didn’t even try.
“Uhh well you’re a commie, I don’t need to present any evidence because you wouldn’t listen anyway!”
Fantastically lazy copium, do better
No, Cowbee in particular. I get along quite nice with communist for the most part.

No, it seems like you don’t give me anything to work with and insult me when I call you out on that.
Just as long as they don’t refute the red scare bullshit you’re selling
