He is right. China is not a dictatorship. A dictatorship suggests one, all powerful ruler. But China has Xi Jinping and he is twice the Winnie the Pooh that Winnie the Pooh is.

Some would also broaden the definition of dictatorship as being a handful of people or an organization having absolute rule, which the CCP would fit. I doubt Michael is defending the word's definition moreso than being bribed by China.
