Meanwhile China is positioning itself as a leader in the energy sectors of the future.
It’s depressing to watch these displays, but even more depressing in the knowledge that our nation’s power is (as usual) being squandered to make a demented old man feel like a big boy and for keeping a handful of billionaires marginally richer with money they’ll never actually live to spend anyway.
Unfortunately one of the advantages of dictatures is that it move fast in one direction.
The main problem being if the leader is intelligent enough to chose the right direction, which they rarely do.
On the other hand, democracies moves slowly, but the damages done by bad leaders are often counterbalanced by the good made by better leaders.

Also dictators rarely focus moving on one direction
Gaddafi for example did good with education and healthcare, but he also many bad things.
You are right. But I didn’t mean that as “doing one thing well”, but rather “focussing on a long term objective”.
