Other ideas have circulated in China. Sun Chung Shan,the first president of China, wanted neither to be a dictator nor an emperor.
Anyway of course it doesn't matter whether I like or don't like dictatorship in a country other than Canada. But this is a forum about investing and the more open a society is, the safer to invest in. The US government for example, is getting more secretive every day and holding the US dollar gets more and more unsafe. China has the fastest growing large economy in the world. The extent to which we can trust the word of the Chinese government is therefore important for everyone's investment purposes. Capital seeks safety and profit irrespective of borders. You yourself complain about tan guan wu li, i.e. corruption. Every country has some of that. But there are degrees. Singapore has very little. Some African countries are infinitely corrupt. We pick and choose. Unlike Maurice, I don't enjoy finding fault with China. The overriding topic is not countries but investment.
