We Chinese knew our system was completely wrong since 100+ years ago. Then we had
Xinhai Revolution in 1911. From then, it took us 38 years to get a working government, at least 30-40 millions died in the struggle.
After that, Korean War and Vietnam War, culture revolution, and economy reform, then political reform. It took us 70 years to get the system currently working since 1949.
The fundamental work was done by Chairman Mao, not Deng Xiaoping. Deng Xiaoping is a reformer, Mao build the machine from scratch, Deng and his successors fine-tuned the machine.
It's just my opinion and a lot Chinese share the same opinion. But Mao was demonized by west media for decades.
The west only want other countries see one sided story which is Deng's reform. They selectively ignored Mao for a good reason.
Sorry, in my opinion, your theory may only work in well established countries. Your theory is nothing new and so widely spread across the globe. IMF has pushed your theory for half a century, it didn't work.
You have a point, every countries are different. It's hard to copy. I don't think you are brainwashed or biased, but few can resist environmental influence, including you I think.
Grown up in west will lack the common sense. Younger generation Chinese can hardly imagine what China went through since
Xinhai Revolution.
Those theory failed in many countries, almost all African countries failed, south America countries failed, even south European countries failed.
You theory is very beautiful, it just didn't work.
Nothing is universal, we human being must be humble. History is the best teacher.
