Justin Trudeau admits that the country he most admires is China because its “basic dictatorship” allows its leaders to wield absolute power.

It’s not the first time Trudeau has been caught praising a Communist dictator. In 2016 he lavished praise on Fidel Castro, despite the communist autocrat’s dismal human rights record.
“Fidel Castro was a larger than life leader who served his people for almost half a century,” Trudeau said in a statement, which was issued while he attended a summit meeting in Madagascar. He described Castro, who ruled as a Communist autocrat for almost 50 years, as “Cuba’s longest serving President.”
He added that Mr. Castro was “a legendary revolutionary and orator” whose death had brought him “deep sorrow.”
