Yeah countries with leaders that don't have to prove to the people they should/are qualified to lead doesn't 'float my boat'

Well, for one thing media is a great instrument to be used by a state (in the case of single-party states, this ain't too unusual...). So for that reason, a free media really hurts.
I don't see your point here. Have you considered that it may be next to impossible for people to "do something" about it? I mean, how would you go about it, just say "hey, we need free media, now!"?
What mainly sticks out for me there, is that in every country people have differing opinions about...well everything. That includes how the country should be and is run. But with a single-party state like China, this discussion isn't allowed as it is pointless anyhow, when you don't have elections with different parties of different opinions anyways... And I don't know about you, but that seems
wrong to me.
