Two communist countries are suffering from different things. But, similar thing is that both leaders are stubborn and want to save face.
One country is battling with the neighboring country, while the other is battling with keeping Covid-zero policy. Needless to say, it's Russia and China.
Unless huge riots or rebels, their leaders w on't quit, due to lack of democratic system. But, both of the leaders are protected by extremely heavy securities. So, it will be impossible to ouster them. We have nothing to do but wait for their death.
