  1. The difference between a government governed by a party and a person reminds me a bit of pre 1990's Mexico. Mexico spent most of the 20th century under a one-party dictatorship . As the golden rule after mexican revolution was "No reelection", politicians from the party had to reach agreements to determine who was going to "inherit" the presidency (one-party dictatorship = rigged elections) the next every 6 years, this led to favors, factions, and more counterweights. This might seem innocuous since at the end of the day it was a dictatorship, but eventually the dictatorship progressively softened, and we had gradual, smooth, peaceful and institutional (NOT revolutionary) transitions from military to civilian governments (1946) and from one party state to a more democratic. (2000) It seems that China embarked on the reverse process, going from a one-party government to a strongman government with Xi. I hope Vietnam never follows that path.
