9. China is doing it the quick and dirty way because they think it's too hard to do it your way.

Giving women equal treatment and worth as men is anathema to east-asian culture in general. Women have always been considered lesser than men in China. It's why the Chinese Communist Party has historically been dominated by males in the party congress, despite various communists' lip service to gender equality.

Also, spreading around the wealth isn't the Chinese economic model. You have a middle class in China of over 300,000,000 people. Yet, this is a country with a population of over 1,300,000,000 people. There's a lot of desperately poor people with limited or no lack to health care, public education, or the prospects of a better life beyond mere subsistence.

If the Chinese people ever could find a way to liberate the masses from poverty and tyranny, provide work and a decent life to its workers, and security and happiness in old age, I'd say they accomplished something more than a supposed communist party with rhetoric of a workers' paradise ever could accomplish.
