Absolutely.

[@user-ti3ki1jd3d]

Brutally honest!The sheep wont like your words,but you are in fact, correct in your assessment!

PRC is a Meritocracy. First you are ELECTED at Soviet/Council level to run a town. The best performing "town leader" in a region is promoted to run a city... then a province...then to cabinet responsibilities in the Politburo. That's why Xi has 80% approval ratings, he wasnt put in office by media and Oligarchs he had to deliver for the people he represented over and over for 50yrs before he became President.
