Whilst many people think that China will one day become democratic, I don't. I think it will develop representational methods that suit China but it will never be like the West and it shouldn't be, because it is China. The massive developments and the dynamic ongoing obliteration of so much human poverty in the last 20 years has happened because it is not like the West. Western Democracies can change their whole ideological vision and policies each 3 or 4 years from one opposite to another so the ability to plan ahead just isn't there...so everything is worked out on what will be popular within 36 month vision. China's success also is due to the character of Chinese people. 60 years ago they had a massive and total revolution through absolute necessity and passion for change and through it they are, as a nation, their own masters and beholding to no other power, nor do they invade other countries to fix their economy. This is an outstanding human achievement on a grand scale. The policy of: ON ECONOMIC MATTERS: relaxed controls; for POLITICAL MATTERS: tight controls; is very effective... because it works. I expect it will be still working well a century from now and will provide great world stability and the greatest benefit will be for China and there's nothing wrong with that at all, because they've earned it...not borrowed it or stolen it. They've made it work.
