No, QinGang, it doesn't. Congress can do stuff that the President doesn't care for -, and often does. That's by deliberate design, not by mistake.
That really does show how far away from a democracy and a state under the rule of law they are. It is absolutely beyond their imagination that there can be independent parts of a government that control each other. And a legal system that controls all of them totally independent of the government. And worse: They consider this counterproductive. The problem in China is that for the last 20+ years that worked quite OK for a large part of their population. But there are more an more signs that this system will be facing a first serious test (overinflated housing market about to blow up, no idea how to get out of Corona Lockdowns, a LOT of manufacturing leaving China for cheaper places, generally weak economic figues and a demographic time bomb) in the not so distant future. And I guess that is what makes them so nervous. And nervous they obviously are.
