Yep. If one of the oldest civilizations on earth is still in the development stages, I think that, possibly, it needs to rethink its development model.

Basically. There's this weird half-a**ed notion over there that you can have your cake and eat it too - all the benefits of a market economy, along with all the benefits of a command-and-control economy, but sooner or later, something's going to give. In the meantime, you get the Chinese Army running nightclubs in Shanghai, and the sorts of oligopolies of wealthy Party members that all truly corrupt regimes exhibit before long.
