How does China's fascist-style government help/impede economic growth and the well-being of its subjects?

Politics grows out of civil society and culture. A political system is not an artificial structure that can be imposed willy-nilly anywhere at anytime. Look how long Russia's "democracy" lasted. It only took ten years for the Czar to reappear, and by popular demand. This doesn't mean political systems can never change; however, the people have to actually want a democracy in the first place. Do Chinese want a democracy? If one says "yes," it …

…China adopts a capitalist system and still calls it "socialist," and then declares the triumph of socialism over capitalism because of its amazing economic growth (due to capitalism)....well, one can only laugh at that farce. Finally, ask Chinese who live in polluted squalor who are constantly bilked by the CCP if the "dictatorship is delivering the goods." Of course, the CCP is delivering the goods to the coastal elites -- but on whose backs?
