Yeah, the other problem with the graphic is that the president of China isn't 1:1 with the president of the US. Like, the president isn't necessarily the commander in chief of the PLA. Not that I'll pretend to know the ins and outs of who was chairman of the party, president, chairman of the military commision, and who had what de jure power and who had what de facto power for each period in PRC history. (but I'll definitely listen if someone has knowledge to drop!) I know there's the model of looking at the different generations of leadership that can be useful.
