China doesn't have to deal with a lot of the "complications" that the Western governments have to deal with, like human rights, etc. This gives those in power the potential to achieve their goals more efficiently.

Not saying this is how it actually ends up, but they certainly are prepared to use a lot of leverage tools that are not available to more free countries.

“...[The Russians] have an immense advantage. I think it’s a dangerous advantage and a temporary advantage. Twelve men decide what to do. They don’t sit here like I do and have twelve others question me on why I’m doin’ it... In the end they destroy themselves.” —General George Marshall https://youtu.be/Y7eVaVUESCo
