Well they shot down his landmark tariffs for one, and the next court ordered refunds so...I'd be delighted if you could share cases of the government ignoring court orders (not to be confused with challenging them, like any functioning legal system has).

Also, obviously Xi doesn't make every decision. No dictator ever did that because it's impossible to do. The distinction is that no one has ever (or has the ability) to over rule what Xi decides. So if Xi has a stroke and wants DeepSeek to start manufacturing underwear, they will be ordering sewing machines tomorrow. Any sense of "private" is a farce.
