You'd better write down the whole relevant text (as a minimal working example), rather than omitting some words. Keep your MWE as complete as possible (BUT not so detailed), then other people who means to help you will be able to understand what's the real point involved in your problems.
making itself as a benevolent autocracy as is possible in the Chinese context=
