Maybe I'm wrong and Nixon was playing 4-D chess, all along. Maybe China can't win without BECOMING us. It takes a lot of talented people, all working with a will, to make real human progress, whatever form of government you have. Theoretically, totalitarian regimes have a hard time holding things together, because the only way to win is to empower their people with skills and resources. The CCP's one-child policy (pogrom) has given them a generation of educated only-children. There's a Timothy Leary vibe going on in THEIR millennial, x, y, z generations (youth, generally).
Don't DEMAND excellence. But rather, LET excellence, and always applaud and reward excellence. Top-down tries to MAKE things excellent, and achieves mediocre on its best day.
