The biggest concern we have about the long-lasting leader without democracy is that no one can stop extreme policy by the leader. Even if someone tries to resist the leader, he/she will be arrested and be sentenced to death in the worst case. Russian invasion into Ukraine is the typical example.
I don't know how Xi thinks about it though, he should keep it in mind.
