I think it was more of a reactive comment: It's funny to uphold moral superiority towards a people that have never conquered nor been conquered. I think comparing it to the philosophy of the Nazi's is a bit of a stretch. I do see your point though -- but everything exists on a spectrum. As a dominant superpower it's pretty easy for the west to hold the moral high-horse in things like this but seems hypocritical when you look at the big picture of the results of our dominance (imperialism over the past millennium). I think China has the ambitions to be a superpower and they have a willingness to cut corners to get to that point. Smart authoritarians are a short-term optimal system of governance and that is the type of rule that China finds itself under currently. My thought is that the cutting of corners is not so much inhumane as it is cutting through bureaucracy, intelligently, done by smart leaders with a definite vision of the future.
