This is how China is going to sell itself and its political model in the coming decades.
I wish the OPs comment wasn't flagged and dead, because we need to stop closing our eyes in front of this development and start preparing ourselves mentally for combatting it.
Chinese model is going to be sold as a method of building unified, mission-oriented nations that have long term objectives and do not spend their energy and resources on endless squabbles of special interest groups.
This will be attractive to some people who crave political stability and economic growth, at least as long as China really grows. It will probably only stop working after some major crash / bubble burst in the Chinese economy.
I don’t think he is saying this is ‘good’ insofar as people should like it, he is saying that a model which produces more will outcompete by force one which produces less, regardless of the living conditions of the people living under that model. That is why the conclusion is “the future is scary”.
