Because successful western governance is predicated from stability and prosperity developed through state capitalism. Not the other way around. Almost everywhere western governance model has been applied without first developing domestic industries via state directed mercantilism, the country either fails or stays poor. You need an authoritarian government phase to rapidly build a base. China is following the proven Asian Tiger model, it just takes longer to uplift 1.4b people, if that's possible at all. Almost every rich western country today behaved like China during their industrial revolution. Also they're not blind, every Chinese can look to Indian and know democracy + huge population either doesn't work or doesn't work fast enough.
