  1. A lot of it comes from the CPC itself, whose authoritarian practices of vaguely enforcing broadly-defined rules breeds mistrust between people. Had the Mainland gone more the way of democratized Táiwān, the Chinese people would likely turn out much more open and trusting, and China's post-imperial rise could have been better founded, while also more tolerated if not authentically welcomed by the rest of the world. However, delegating power to the people is a concept that is very novel to classically top-down Chinese culture, and a constant competition for attractiveness that the CPC would be terrified to play.
