You can't vote to change the rules to something Xi disagrees with, the Constitution says so.
That is nonsense.

The military and police have more seats in their legislature than any non-CCP party.
Is it forbidden in your country that a person employed by the military can not run for office, or a parliament seat?

Xi actually is purging military people from the parliament and other high office positions.

So, you got it a little bit backward.

In China, you do not vote for a Person, or a Party (hint: strictly speaking there is only one), you vote for TOPICS

You are in the party and vote about the topic you are interested in.

There is no damn party policy "pro abortion" or "anti abortion", "pro gay marriage" or "anti gay marriage", "pro civil service" or "anti civil service"

Yeah, you do not have to rank:
- abortion
- gay marriage
- civil service

And then figure which party does more to your liking than the other. Vote red, or blue? Oh my god, what are they going to do?

You vote yes/no for abortion
You vote yes/no for gay marriage
You vote yes/no for civil service

And that is it.

In other words: you can not vote for anything in the united states. You can only vote for a person, hoping that person does what you want and hoping that enough other like minded people vote for like minded people who do what you want. Which obviously did not work the recent 100 years.

China has direct democracy. Everything important is voted about inside of the party by party members. So, the simplest way to be FULLY involved in EVERY political discussion is: join the party.

Taiwan on the other hand, has a "focus group" approach. If you want to do politics, they have the most important political topics on a government web site. You join the work groups regarding the topic, and about 10,000 people get put into 100 sub groups, who are supposed to not communicate, and make proposals.

In general about a dozen proposals come from those 100 groups which are the same. They get published and sent to the parliament, and then there is voted about it.

You live in a fake democracy, and do not even know it. You got sold that voting for an "electorate" makes a fine president.

In France for example: they vote for the president directly. There is no intermediate step of party or electorate.

There is a guy on the list of candidates, called Angelo, you vote for him, or vote for the other guy, or don't vote.

There is no damn "oh in this state we have 3 electors", and we have to vote red to make our state win so our 3 electors can now vote/elect the president. Oh, which colour did we pick here? Oh, does not matter, as with more than 2 parties your system completely breaks apart.

You have the worst thinkable system of democracy, but - typical American - think it is the best.

When was the last time in your life you voted about a topic that was important? Oh ... you never did. You voted for a person, which might did what you like, or did not, and is not accountable at all.

In China, and also Taiwan: every person voted into office is accountable to actually implement what he/she is supposed to do. Because: first you vote for the issue and then you vote for the people responsible to actually implement that issue, in the way it was voted for.

Solar panels output DC and are typically run in series strings of hundreds of volts.
As I said: it is mostly 48V.

For balcony in the US I think everyone will keep voltages under 80V per MPPT to align with NEC 690.
Well in a 110V AC world it likely makes not much sense to go higher than that.

Sorry, I do not know your standards, like NEC 690.

I do not know what your FARKING PROBLEM IS,

If I want to make an appointment with you, next week: I see "available" and "not available" - and that is all.

I do not see for what farking reason you are not available. And the only question now is: are you so farking stupid to put the reasons why you are not available into your calendar and some "root user" can read it? Yes or No?

If you want to write into you BUSINESS calendar at YOUR WORK that you are in hospital and your house is free to be burglared: up to you.

Here in Europe are not many people who would be so stupid.

Oh, I mixed it up. If YOU want to make an appointment with me next week, YOU will see "available" or "not available" - and you won't know why I am not available and: no one else would know either. Except: they are invited to the same event.

A solar system does not produce 240V.
It produces 24V or 48V. Of course you could wire it to make 96V ...
However: DC has some issues ... so no one in his sane mind would have a 96V or higher voltage system.

And the inverter ups it to 110, or 240 ... depending where you are and which switch you select on the inverter.
