China's institutions are not perfect, but they're getting the job done more effectively than the institutions of today's Third World republics. After 50 years of democracy, India's parliament has not yet enacted even the most basic economic reforms like new labor laws due to constant legislative gridlock and opposition from India's majority-poor population. In India today, it's still illegal for private businesses to hire and fire workers freely. In addition, India's tariffs today are still 2-3 times higher than China's because India's pro-big government politicians jobs will get voted out of office if they don't continue to protect India's bloated, inefficient industries from foreign competition.

India didn't murder, kill, starve 65 million of their own people and murdered over 1 million Tibetans in order to "liberate" them.

I agree a pro business non democratic government works better than mob rule.
