Why would you want to vote Xi out? This isn't a deflection, it's an understanding that the majority of people in China greatly approve of him, and to remove him would be anti-democratic. That said, the process of removing Xi can already be done democratically. If the people mobilized in local councils and changed delegates from the bottom up, if the CPC recalled him, etc. China's democracy isn't a liberal democracy overly concerned with individual politicians, but is more comprehensive and is about policy and direction of development.
