5. China
Xi Jinping
The leader of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping, is also known as the “Paramount Leader”, and there are many reasons to think about this country as the country with dictatorship today. Almost as a rule, the freedom of media and the freedom of speech are completely restricted, being the reason why anyone who tries to oppose the system is heavily punished. There are many critical laws in China that ranks 5th in our list of countries with dictatorships today (or on their way to dictatorships),that also confirm its dictatorship position, such as the law that enables one-party system and allows internet censorship.
