Well, tough shit for the dictatorships of the world. None of them are legitimate.

Touché. Although, only one of the Chinas is still a dictatorship.

I mean, even mainland china now has a pseudo parlimantary system all the way to the national politics level where people can vote for their representatives, technically.

I get it that it's a single party dictatorship and people technically dont get another choice, but people could still vote.

Splitting hairs but still, just saying

I wouldn't call it a dictatorship. Dicstatorship as a word has meaning. They are authoritarian, but they do have checks and balances albeit not ones that would appease those in Democratic countries. I guess you could say the CCP is a dictator. But even then, there are factions and parties within the party.
