It seems to me the obvious next step.
I mean if other jobs requirements like IT and even accounting had started asking for more certifications and experience to work, then why the heck shouldn’t presidents get asked to be more qualified for their jobs?

My point is that Xi had to work his way up each time. Not only did he need to be elected locally, but he needed to be reelected each time he climbed by a new, successive body. This isn’t merely someone coming from nowhere and buying a campaign a la Trump, but someone who had to start at the bottom and prove himself again and again.
Dude, you are completely ignoring my comment. Lol.
No, I didn’t. It’s much easier for competent people to climb when they have to prove themselves capable of doing so. I think you may have mixed this up with me saying university degrees are necessary?
