I'm not advocating and peddling the "China Model", I'm only speaking my understanding dealing with it. More often than not countries are controlled by the priviledged, and they can more easily shaped people' mind now.
When you pitch democracy to Chinese, the vast majority of them will rebut your every arguement with their pragmatic "narrative", they only want a tiny part of it or simply don't. Their upper class tour western countries and see dilapitated infrastruture, "people being poor", streets not safe, cities old "like villages", they feel proud.
And the system essentially hijacked their wealth, it will be too costly to change, care only about how much money made and what to buy and nothing else.
Until the "China Model" suddenly collapses, it will be shiny to some.
