The transition should probably begin by allowing the free formation of civic groups... that's one of the most important institutions missing in China.

- lhuang 17y agoThere are civic groups in China, many in fact. The government has even been tolerant, to a degree, to advocacy groups. I think for a smooth transition, China needs to uplift its rural population. The urbanites are largely ready for democracy, but outside of a handful of cities the rest of the country simply do not have the institutions, social experience, etc to support a working transparent free-market democracy.
