Didn't you see the Economist article and charts above? We are light years ahead of India in terms of social indicators, we don't starve 5.6 million children to death every year or have the majority of our population going to the toilet on the floor.
China does lack in political freedoms, that is true. Though on an individual level you can say almost anything, go to any Chinese forum and watch people openly swearing at the highest Chinese leaders like Hu Jintao. It's only when you start a large political movement that can actually threaten the CPC that you are in danger of being clamped down on.
Anyway, Wen Jiabao already said several times that China needs political liberalization to go along with our economic liberalization. It's only a matter of time before it happens. This is the East Asian model of development, focus on industrial output first under an authoritarian government, then political liberalization later, when development is at its final stages.
I did read ..and hence questioned your logic on when you said liberalization is function prosperity ....but you don't seem to have ny ..all you have are Wen Jiabaos speeches to content with. Besides political liberalization is not the only freedom..
Where is your religious freedom, freedom of speech..or even freedom access even a site on internet?
You are but a decade ahead of India on some of the social indicators but again ligtyears behind on liberalization.
