    I know we're used to just about any clueless person being part of a party and a politician, but "license to drive? You know I'd like to see some competency exhibited by people before they drive"

    And 90 million members already make it the 2nd biggest political party in the world, I'm really not siding with you on it being elitist

      I'm saying ~1/15th of the population does not paint a picture of an elitist party, but the rhetoric of even Xi needing 3 tries does. It's contradictory, but it makes more sense when @KiaKaha reminded me that Xi had more complicated circumstances.

      You're totally right that having standards for entry isn't elitist, that's not what I meant. I'm not judging the CCP, just the post.
