Actually, you don't "seem to care" that whatever point is trying to be made is utterly invalid, because it's predicated on the impossibility of China "mak(ing) the transition to an open society" by itselfif you continue to strengthen a rival, then he'll remain a rival and not "transition" to a partner (this is one of the basics of foreign policy, or so I thought; to wit, appeasement fails utterly). You can't ignore reality while trying to make a point, or else you'll end up writing a bunch of empty paragraphs.

You haven’t offered anything remotely akin to proof that the article is wrong. You don’t even bother to grasp the salient points.
