If you are blocking rather relying on a strong base of educated voters, then are you any different from China, or have you essentially lost and have adopted your enemy’s ideals?

No. Strong bases of educated voters don't emerge fully-formed from the Earth or something. It takes time to develop them and in that time they're vulnerable.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. It's true, but the path to develop is littered with corruption, inefficiency, and general learn-from-mistakes policies.
