China Shows Democracy Is Not Key for Growth, EU Commissioner Says

(Bloomberg) -- China’s growth shows that democracy is not necessary to achieve economic success and that is changing the way we see and interact with such countries, European Union Economic Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni said.

“I think the illusion of changing an autocratic regime through trade, cultural exchanges, personal relations, is fading,” Gentiloni said Thursday at an event at the Peterson Institute in Washington D.C.

The commissioner, who is a former prime minister of Italy, said that for a long time advanced economies were convinced that a country wouldn’t prosper without also developing democratic institutions, a theme popularized by author Amartya Sen.

“Unfortunately not Russia but China is an example that this is not completely sure,” Gentiloni said. “So, we have to take this into account” and be less naive when interacting with autocratic regimes.

China has proven that non-democracy, non-white, non-Christian, non-western ideology country can achieve economic success. Which almost denies all principles USA is holding and wants to spread to all over the world. China to USA is like Copernicus or Galileo to Holy See. USA hates China for good reasons.

Singapore, ROC Taiwan, south Korea did not build the foundation of their economy success based on democracy but autocratic rules. Lee KY, Chiang KS and Chun DW under non democracy measures help economy of the 3 Asia tigers. Even Hong Kong prosper under British colonial rule which is never democratic. The governor was forced upon them.

The West evangelize the democracy-capitalism duo as most beneficial. Now that Russia is done as a global power, China can evangelize the authoritarian-capitalism duo as alternative and continue the Cold War. I was active duty during the first stage of the Cold War and there was no shortage of praise for the Soviet-China Marxist model, now we are in the second stage of the same Cold War, there is no shortage of praise for the current Chinese model. Let us continue.

Praise or criticism is irrelevant. Soviet Union is a gaint with mud feet. It had never been an economic power. China and Soviet Union has nothing in common. Your experience in cold war won't work.

Europe and America got rich by colonization, slavery, and slaughter of native people, not because of democracy.

HK prosperity had nothing or very little to do with British colonial rule, these colonizers, drug dealers and war criminals just sucked the blood dry from HK and mainland China. HK prospered due to the hard work of the Chinese there and HK's irreplaceable transport geographic location in relation to China especially before 1978. Taiwan and Singapore are basically Chinese, and these places prospered without any colonial or foreign rule too !

Was USSR the world biggest trading nation, exporter, manufacturer with PPP biggest in the world back then?

Western multi party electoral democracy has reached it's level of incompetency.

The US and the West in general, is just a child compared to Chinese civilization to know what is good and bad in the long term. No need to compare with them.

Oh please... USA is miles better than China. USA is a real democracy and a free country. Why would USA hate China?

Does china see itself as undemocratic - i thought it claims some full process or full spectrum democracy or something like that.
