Don’t equate past results in the West with future results in China. Like predicting that time will turn an apple tree into a peach tree with occasional oranges.
The Chinese system is based on absolute power and absolute control, failure is not tolerated and failed leaders are ‘replaced’ with more ruthless and powerful ones; that’s how China has worked for thousands of years.
Innate quality, or intrinsic character, is not determined by results.
These things are attributes of the thing in and of itself.
