What you mean highlighting how despotic regimes where the people at the top make all the big decisions. Nobody way way down the food chain is ever given an inkling of what is occuring........ as claimed all the time in the West.
But we should believe a lowly official who has zero input into anything, supposedly knows everything because he/she has a chat with a foreigner who claimed they said it.
Doesn't that fact that people claiming it is despotic, non democratic etc etc kinda kill the likelihood that anything would be shared other than to those with lots of real power ? or maybe my understanding of depotic regimes is different in that they share everything with everybody.
