It's a helpful attitude. Other countries really do things differently than the US.
From what what I've read in newspapers, talking to recent immigrants and travelling for years in Asia:

4) Ideas around what democracy mean in other countries are often different than the Western model.

In China, there's Xi, dictator for life.
