Yes, it was also a moral failure of the Chinese political system, but I assumed that they were morally bankrupt anyway (perhaps a good illustration can be found by reading between the lines of Liu Cixin first book).
I believe that they saw it as a huge win for themselves, what makes it even less appealing.
I do not think that a non-democratic system is automatically a moral failure, but it becomes one if they try to enforce it on others.
Question for you: how do you rate that moral failure vs. the moral value of China's political system?
In other words, do you see non-democratic systems as moral failures? I don't have any specific point or advocacy to make here. Just wondering what your broader perspective is given exactly what you said.
