No, Xi is an evil dictator who controls everything he wants to. It doesn't matter if you technically control something you will always end up doing the bidding of Xi or you will disappear. From reading your replies, it's evident you have fallen for Chinese propaganda and now simp for an evil dictator and totalitarian regimes. Got it.
