This is my opinion after observing China's system for several years.

The opacity is the sign of lack of modernity. Arbitrary nature of govt actions and policies have resulted in worsened outcomes.

The word "Democracy" is enshrined in the Chinese constitution but what does it mean?

There is no "one man one vote". Its a "one man no vote system".  Slowly becoming a "one man decide" system.

I am not here to debate on human rights and preservation of rights but a system of governance with modern proven characteristics.

Today reports are emerging that with corruption crack down, fears of disciplinary actions and arbitrary nature of punitive measures, the entire civil service of China has become paralysed with inaction. Nobody has inititative because they fear the lack of alignment resulting actions against them.


In a recent session with reports Colin Powell was asked what he would do if Trump tries to fire him. He replied that incomjng President Trump has no power over him. He will stick to doing his job fulfiling  the Fed mandate and ensurjng the US economy does well in the coming years.

Strong independent institutions hold the key for the long term success of a nation. This together with the rule of law and independent juduciary results in a higher level of trust of citizens and international investors.



The lack of rule of law orginates from the system of political succession which is based on power struggle. To rise to power a leader has to foster ties and through it outst opponents to rise above them. This incentivises a leader to exploit the law and its enforcers rather than respect the riuke of law. The anti corruption drive was found to direct investigations against political rivals rather than everyone.

In the end China veers too closely towards the edge with characteristics of a dictatorship


In end only Xi can change the system since he has concentrated power onto himself.

The greatest legacy he can leave for China is not taking back Taiwan or beating the US. Both are these becoming increasingly elusive and will only invite trouble for China.
What he can do that has the grestest impact on the future of China is to reform the system of governance.

Sgbutt is lecturing Xi Jinping??? 

[WhatDoYouThink!]

One man one vote system such as this?

[aiptasia]

Joke of the day. LMFAO!!

An unemployed bugger squatting is his mother's HDB flat attempting to lecture China on how to govern.

Sgbutt can't even govern his own life let alone spouting his BS theories on how the world's largest country should be ruled.

[Huliwang]

Who is more dictator than a President who pardons his own son guilty of several criminal charges? Xi or Biden?    

[WhatDoYouThink!]

The Chinese system has been working well for 5000 yrs. when the govt/rulers becum corrupted and too suppressing, peasant revolts were the way to replace them with better and stronger ones.

So why is the need to worry about them? There’s nothing to worry for yourself?

[Harry Lee]

Why would China want to change the system that propelled them from 3rd world to Superpower, economy and technology leader in one generation?

习近平 万岁！

Ahbutt is a maestro in everything ... ask him anything .. he sure knows a thing or two.

Signs of narcissistic personality disorder in people who think they know everything. In these cases, a person may have a cluster B personality disorder, such as narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). People with NPD commonly display traits that belittle others to make them feel better about themselves.

My staying in HDB did not cause the lack of progress of China.

China had 5000yrs of turmoil one dynasty over thrown by next one endless strive..

That’s how they renewed and improved, instead of doing nothing and rotting away at home

Poor governance is a hindrance to China progress.
The author highlighted progress butvall these have stalled since Xi took power


Below is research by NUS

Still Ground for Optimism
In recent years, the Chinese leadership has been under mounting pressures to carry
out more and fast political reform. In response, the Chinese Communist Party has
started to expand “intra-party democracy” and hold local elections. One may take
issues with the speed and scale of such political reform process, but the direction is
nonetheless clear. The top leadership is fully aware of the need for more political reform
and greater political and social opening-up. President Hu Jintao during his visit to
Washington DC (April 2006) openly declared that “without democracy, there would
be no modernisation”. More recently at a meeting in Shenzhen, Premier Wen Jiabao
had also reaffirmed China’s long-term goal of democratisation.
There is therefore ground for optimism that eventually China will be democratised,
albeit gradually, as its economy continues to sustain high growth. China’s economic
reform and development has been so eminently successful precisely because it has
followed Deng Xiaoping’s gradualist approach. Such is the “reform and development
with Chinese characteristics”. China’s political reform or democratisation is now being
carried out also gradually and experimentally. The process may be long, but step by
step, it will get there. Such is “democratisation with Chinese characteristic

Yet China has had a 4.6% GDP Q3 growth.  

Looks like you don't read everything and just want to parrot then anti China hawks.

The HDB flat is not even bought by you. People with no achievements in life are not qualified to position themselves like some expert on how China should be governed.

People like these who are self proclaimed know it alls don’t function well in society as their deluded minds think they know best. No surprise Sgbutt can’t find meaningful employment.

不在其位，不谋其政

If you’re not in the position, you won’t know what problems they face

F lah. What do you know?   

Almost most dynasties such as Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing, lasted about a few hundred years each. What do you mean by endless strive?   

I don't know PAP can last how many years in this tiny red dot.

I doubt he even ever pay for a property himself except may be a cheap unit in JB.

China has already accustomed to dictatorship for 5000 years. It is already inside their blood.

Dont laugh!
If no good, how come can last so long?

''Narcissism is a personality disorder, where it seems that you have two different personalities. On the one hand, you always like to be the centre of attention, while on the other hand you have an inferiority complex and you feel insecure. Nobody gets to see the latter side''

Aren't you trying to show your trading powers / trading biz / JB property investment trying to justify some insecurities ? You ever ask why your opinions are picked by so many here ? Cut down the yaya opinions or directional calls or whatever judgements you plagiarize from the www... then people will have a better opinion of you bah....
