Why Russians put up with Putin -

 https://theamericanscholar.org/putins-potemkin-paradise/

Political repression is constant in Russian history.
But relative prosperity is new.    So they vote their
pocketbooks.

Why Chinese put up with Xi -

 https://theamericanscholar.org/the-china-model/

Xi wants to export his system to the world, Putin more
locally to traditional Russian spheres of influence.

What they have in common with other politicians is an
evolving strategy for dealing with the masses that now
have near universal literacy and communication to amplify
grievance and unrest, justified and not.    It's all part
of the democratization of technology going on in most of
the world - except a few holdouts like North Korea.

The autocrats view the Enlightenment ideals of Western
Europe and America's founders as the naive conceit of a
tiny educated class.   They have noticed that mass media
information and disinformation can topple governments.
So they are taking pains to flood the zone with THEIR
disinfomation first.

It's an old Southern maxim - get there fustest with the
mostest!  That maximizer, Forrest, later ran the Klan,
though even later he repented somewhat.
