Washington Free Beacon: Bloomberg: Xi Jinping Is ‘Not a Dictator’
'He has to satisfy his constituents, or he's not going to survive'
Michael Bloomberg told Firing Line host Margaret Hoover that Chinese president Xi Jinping is "not a dictator" and insisted the Chinese Communist Party listens to its constituents.
