Of course, there should be a set of clear cut and well exercised laws and constitution to keep the leader under control, and the people should be allowed some degree of participation in top level official decisions. China's current system is not perfect, but I believe with a bit of tweak it can propel China to a even higher level.
the problem is that our skill at artificial intelligence and Animatronics aren't advance enough to the point where such a leader can be created without problems rising.
you don't want your leader falling into the Uncanny valley, or having his head explode when presented with a logic paradox.

not that it really matters if we could solve the technical problems, since anyone seeing such a "leader" for one minute would have no problem spotting that its not human.
