Correct me if I'm wrong, but China currently has a population so happy that there are workers that are willing to contemplat
e mass suicide to escape China's paradise. Then there are political dissidents
, like Nobel Prize winning Liu Xiaobo, who languish in prison for the crime of calling for human rights. Will he survive his incarcerat
ion? Will he have his organs farmed if he doesn't? I guess that all depends on China's "superior" approach to managing humanity.
The Chinese Government has been quite successful insulating the country from the economic crisis, but even now those approaches are starting to deteriorat
e. China cannot afford an economic crash. It can not afford peasants returning to the countrysid
e penniless after tasting prosperity
. I believe it is way too early for China to take a victory lap.
I'll stick with flawed American democracy, pop some popcorn, and watch reality dawn on the Chinese people, who have shown the ability to dramatical
ly change the political dynamic in their country in a burst of fireworks.
