I hope China goes the way of South Korea and Taiwan. A transition to democracy once the economy's improved enough. The only problem is that its size means that China can't take the export oriented path to growth at the same rate that SK/Taiwan did.

On the other hand, China has a lot of investment to do in its western part of the country.

Yeah, that's my point. China can't modernize so quickly because it has a large hinterland that SK and Taiwan don't.
