@douglasman2011 As the world's most populous country, China has (statistically speaking) the most brainpower to come up with plans and ideas, as well as the most manpower to implement said plans and turn ideas into reality. Larger populations have more geniuses, and since China's population is 4x that of USA, there should be at least 4 Chinese geniuses to every 1 American genius.

Consider two standard bell curves, say one with 1.4 billion people and one with 326 million. The number of average people in China is very close to 4.3 times the number of average people in the U.S. That is also true for those in the top 2% say, which produces scientists, the best business and government people, and the most competent computer programmers. Even there, China would have a 4.3 to 1 advantage, which would be quite an advantage, everything else being equal.

China can support 20% of the world's population with only 7% arable land and still produce surplus food for export. We are home to world's largest pig, goat, sheep and duck farms. China's fishing industry accounts for one-third of the world's fish production and our fish farms account for two-thirds of the world's aquaculture production.

China ranks 1st in worldwide farm output, producing more rice, wheat, onions, cabbages, green beans, cauliflowers, eggplant, potatoes, spinaches, carrots, cucumbers, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, pears, grapes, peaches, apples, plums, strawberries, kiwifruits, tomatoes, watermelons, tea, beer, chestnuts, peanuts, eggs, and honey than other countries.

@larrysmith2123 Hong Kong's economic success was built while it was under the authoritarian colonial rule of Britain. Previously, Hong Kong was once a British colony, during which Hong Kong did not enjoy democracy and virtually no elections were held by the people of Hong Kong. Only during the period of Hong Kong's 1997 handover, that Hong Kong people finally get to vote in elections for their favorite leaders.
So isn't it thanks to mainland China that Hong Kong people finally get democracy under the One Country, Two Systems Policy, where they had none before? For 150 years as a British colony?
Lastly, although you did not mention it, Singapore is the last of the Four Asian Tigers/Dragons to see massive economic growth. Singapore has been governed by authoritarian single-party PAP for 55 years (their entire life as a nation) and it transformed Singapore from a sleepy fishing village nation into a world class country.
All in all, this trend seems to show that Asian countries/regions actually seem to flourish best under an authoritarian system, as shown in the examples I listed above. Likewise, mainland China today is flourishing under authoritarian single-party Communist Party rule.

@violatedmonkey China is currently at peace and not at war with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is building infrastructure like roads, railways, highways, bridges, tunnels, powerstations, dams, ports, airports, etc and investing in developing countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Ghana, Mozambique, Tanzania, etc.
Whereas the United States is warmonger being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, Syrian War, Yemen War, etc, even in the 21st century. USA is bombing in those Middle Eastern countries and enacting regime change by cutting off their "heads" (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place.
If anything, it's the United States that's the threat to global peace and stability here.

Supreme You said: "Why rename themselves the facist party of China to reflect the reality on the ground."
Fascism is racial supremacy, like back when Hitler demonized the Jews as an inferior race during Nazi Germany. If China was truly behaving like the Nazis, we should be seeing similar demonization of ethnic minorities. Yet ethnic minorities in China aren't subject to the One Child Policy (unlike Han) so they can have as many kids as they want. Ethnic minorities in China enjoy special privileges from the government, tax exemptions, free education up to 15 years, priority in healthcare, government bursaries and education admission advantages. For example, if Han student needs 600 points to qualify for a certain university course, then an ethnic minority student needs only 300 points (easier to qualify) for the exact same course.
This is the complete opposite behavior of Nazi Germany, where Jews were demonized even in the Nazi media. But if you tune in to CGTN, CCTV, Xinhua (New China) TV, they promote ethnic minority cultures, festivals, dances, traditional instruments, traditional food, traditional clothing, etc, which is the exact opposite of what the Nazis did to represent the Jews.

Supreme About Religion in China, China has nearly 200 million religious believers and more than 380,000 clerical personnel. The five major religions practiced in China are Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism, and Protestantism. China has over 20 million Muslims, more than 57,000 clerical personnel. There are around 222,000 Buddhist clerical personnel and over 40,000 Taoist clerical personnel. Catholicism and Protestantism have 6 million and 38 million followers in China, respectively, with 8,000 and 57,000 clerical personnel.
There are approximately 5,500 religious groups in China, including seven national organizations which are Buddhist Association of China, Chinese Taoist Association, China Islamic Association, Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association, Bishops’ Conference of Catholic Church in China, National Committee of the Three-Self Patriotic Movement of the Protestant Churches in China, and China Christian Council.
At present, there are about 144,000 places of worship registered for religious activities in China, among which are 33,500 Buddhist temples (including 28,000 Han Buddhist temples, 3,800 Tibetan Buddhist lamaseries, and 1,700 Theravada Buddhist temples), 9,000 Taoist temples, 35,000 Islamic mosques, 6,000 Catholic churches and places of assembly spread across 98 dioceses, and 60,000 Protestant churches and places of assembly.

Supreme "神州 Shenzhou your views are straight delusional and seem like you are pro ccp almost blindly and to the point you ignore valid criticism."
Granted, the Communist Party of China is certainly not perfect (then again which government body truly is?) but despite its initial failures and setbacks, under its leadership, China's population doubled, our lifespans doubled, our literacy rates doubled, and our poverty rates plummeted. Under Chairman Mao Zedong, China's population grew from 540 million in 1949 to 969 million in 1979. China's growth in life expectancy at birth from 35–40 years in 1949 to 65.5 years in 1980 is among the most rapid sustained increases in documented global history (Banister and Preston 1981; Ashton et al. 1984; Coale1984; Jamison 1984; Banister 1987; Ravallion 1997; Banister and Hill 2004).
This graph shows life-expectencies at birth across China, USA and India. Source: data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.LE00.IN?locations=CN-IN-US
China was once a dirt-poor, war-torn, starving country similar to India (world's largest democracy) in the past, but today, China has since transformed into world's 2nd largest economy, the world's factory (Made in China) having world's 2nd highest R&D spending, protected by world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army, funded by world's 2nd highest military expenditure.
And it's all been achieved under communist party leadership, despite Western anti-Communist propaganda constantly denouncing China's success all along.

RIDIN’ HIGH 5150 About the Social Credit System, many foreigners often complain Chinese people spit in public, smoke in non-smoking areas, jump queues, disobey traffic rules, jay walk, drive on wrong side of the road, speed through red lights, etc when not all Chinese people are like that. We Chinese feel embarrassed that such bad people represent China overseas, so the government introduce social credit system to discourage such bad behaviour and promote better behaviour instead. This is a meritocratic system where good behaviour is rewarded and bad behaviour penalised.
But if such people persist with bad behaviour, until their scores fall to become unacceptable, then they will be barred from purchasing plane tickets to fly out of China and make nuisances of themselves overseas. At least until their scores improve until it becomes acceptable for them to travel again.
