So the chicoms are building 250 gigawatts of new coal plants in China and hundreds of coal plants in other countries. But, US billionaire and former duly elected mayor of NYC has some kind words for the chicom dictator and his fellow environmental loving commies. I love this great saying, “No government survives without the will of the majority of its people.” Must be news to the billions who have suffered under a commie regime. Nice that the people have no guns and have to answer to the secret police. Maybe Bloomberg can get a guided tour of North Korea with Rodman?

MICHAEL BLOOMBERG: Xi Jinping Is ‘Not a Dictator.’
Bloomberg defended China’s ruling communist regime citing its handling of pollution and environmental policy, claiming that it is responding to the needs of citizens. The billionaire’s comments come amid months of violent protest in Hong Kong and international outcry about the oppression of Chinese Muslims.
“The Communist Party wants to stay in power in China and they listen to the public,” Bloomberg said. “When the public says ‘I can’t breathe the air,’ Xi Jinping is not a dictator. He has to satisfy his constituents, or he’s not going to survive.”
“He’s not a dictator?” Hoover asked. “He doesn’t have a vote, he doesn’t have a democracy. He’s not held accountable by voters. Is the check on him just a revolution?”
“No, he has a constituency to answer to,” Bloomberg responded. “You’re not going to have a revolution. No government survives without the will of the majority of its people.”
The secret police and the Orwellian social credit system and the reeducation camps and whatnot are… the will of the people then?
