主题：关于拉美化：“中国模式”有多独特 -- 土拨鼠yuanap

John D. Rockefeller already established Standard Oil, created a corporate system unlike anything that came before. Is there anything even remotely ground-breaking in 2010s? And I didn't compare China to US in 1920s, you did. I said that there is nothing new in Chinese development model, Japan, Korea and myriad Southern Eastern Asia countries all went through the same phase, the only difference is China is bigger and China is far less "harmonious" than even Taiwan at the same development phase. It looked that you thought that the fact that Taiwan and Japan grew slower than China (in fact, Taiwan grew at an annualized rate of 18% last quarter of 2009, more than twice the growth rate of mainland China.), I just wanna point out that the reason China is growing faster is because China started later, why not comparing China to Japan kin the 60sl, see if you could muster any of your growth rate superiority.

The bottom line is:

there is no Chinese exceptionalism, China followed a path pioneered by Japan. And whatever Japan experienced is more than likely to be experienced by China (just take a look at the housing price) and the fact that China, unlike Japan, who was a full-fledged developed nation with no significant domestic political challenge when the housing bubble appeared, still had hundreds on millions of people trapped in poverty, serious or even deadly potential political problem, no international brand to speak of, far less sophisticated technology, etc.

I'm not saying China has no future, I just can't find any justification for the current irrational, allow me to say, plain ignorant, outburst of optimism from China. I'd say that 99% of those who're delusional enough to champion G-2 would have their delusion pierced by just one visit to some of the fly-over state of the US.

there is NO Chinese exceptiaionalism
