Authroian regime and homogenous population(Han). It's same model as Singapore, just at bigger level.

Is there actual evidence that a homogenous population results in better economic output? That sounds like literal fascist propaganda to me.

  China's population is not homogeneous, and neither is Singapore's. Singapore has large Indian and Malay ethnic populations, China's got dozens of ethnicities and the main Han ethnic group is really a mix of different cultural and ethnic groups where the best analogy is how "White" people in the US are treated as the same ethnic group despite originating from dozens of European countries. No population is truly homogeneous. The trick is putting together the right social and economic incentives so you can brush over the ethnic differences. To get to a point where people think of ethnic differences as less dividing them into tribes in a battle royale where only one can survive, and more as different opinions on the best flavor of ice cream.

    Chinese population is more than 90% Han Chinese. Also, language is very important for Homogeneity that's why Chinese Govt introduced Simplified Chinese as official language and Singapore introduced English as official language. Here is a good video of `Lee Kaun yew` on why single language is important for development of country. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5vELNwtQO1E https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5vELNwtQO1E

  There is a correlation between homogenous population and growth but as it is complex subject there is no clear distinction [1]https://www.researchgate.net/publication/314469686_Does_Ethnic_or_Cultural_Homogeneity_Increase_Economic_Performance_or_Living_Standards https://www.researchgate.net/publication/314469686_Does_Ethn...

What are you talking about? Singapore is highly diverse.

  Singapore is 75% Chinese and everyone speak English.

    25% minority population is hardly monoethnic.
