I wouldn't be so hasty regarding Chinese development and overall politics. You should take into account the fact they're Eastern country with Eastern mentality. They take different approach from most western countries because they're different.

I guess, we shouldn't point fingers and say "Too bad they aren't democratic" or "Too bad communism is a lie" because we cannot really guarantee that what's good for us will be good for them.

FWIW, I think they'll continue to develop on their very own historical path disregard whatever western countries try to do.
