I probably shouldn't have written "capitalist democracy". Could you
agree with me that China is transitioning into a democracy embracing
a western style market economy, where private enterprise will be the
driving force behind the country's growth? And that, so far, the
Chinese administration is doing an admirable job of it, by controlling
the transition process, keeping it slow and smooth?
