Sorry, but that's a shit argument and often heard before. Others did it too, so it's OK then. It's not doing good for the population at large and that's the only thing I take offence with. Presenting it as an example of a working society. In fact, China represents the worst of both worlds. Unchained capitalism and an oppressive political system.
In a documentary chinese guy got 2 years in work or slave camp, just because he went on a public protest because some goverment official illegally kicked him out of his house to build there luxuary apartaments for himself.
