It’s not outdated. You’ve contradicted yourself in the same sentence. You would have be right if XJ didn’t cripple China with his own vanity. China’s destiny went from future global innovator to staying a giant copier as XJ’s power rose.

Innovation cannot exist with lack of free speech and free thought.

imo Russians culturally are way more individualistic which helps in being rebellious which in turn helps with innovation. Mainland Chinese culture is not so much, so an authoritarian government would exacerbate the problem of conformity and group mind
