All of the following things apply to 2016 China just as well:
* Strong disagreement and polarization on a lot of important issues
* Constant arguing about the best way forward argue on how best to fix economic issues
* Many important problems are ignored, seemingly forever
Believing otherwise is vain provincial exceptionalism. The original comparison is superficial and bankrupt.

It's not superficial, it's just making a comparison of one specific aspect of the two cultures, not trying to be a comprehensive model that explains every single thing about each one.
