> China has being doing great, following a path that the West disapprove. China is doing a typical catch up development due to low base/high labour supply. USSR did this during Stalin's ruling, many others did so as well. There is nothing unique or spectacular here. China is still a dirt poor country with GDP per capita at 15% of that of the US. When they will become closer to developed nations' economic level, they'll need more sophisticated institutions, rule of law, or they would face a middle income trap. For now they can grow by simply utilizing their large factors of production, even dictatorship can do this.
