The thing is Indian people are not the kind who would take to a Cultural Revolution or a Great Leap Forward too well. Indira Gandhi imposed the Emergency and the entire nation rose in protest. Chinese mindset is different - they enjoy being ruled - either by monarchs, or as puppet states of UK, or by the Japanese. The whole mentality is different - it is an unfair comparison.
How Chinese people think the USA? We do not trust the USA. If one politicians to accept USA's help, we will abandon him, we will think he is a traitor. For example, Liu Xiaobo, his political life has finished.
Liu Xiaobo received Western aid, so he will service the West interests, not our interest. We will not trust him.
Why is that so? China has a traditional Ruling Ideology, that is "内圣外王".
That is why most Chinese people do not trust the USA. Because the USA is that "内圣外王"! We are too familiar with the practice of the USA. We have 5,000 years to play "内圣外王".
What is "内圣外王"?
make easy, "内圣" is "protect own citizens, defend their interests", "外王" is "unfair treatment of foreign, implementation imperialism."

So USA democracy is only democracy in the American people. Other countries democratic, have or have not, the decision by the US's interests.
Therefore, Chinese people will see "Dictatorship" or "Democracy" as the USA to develop rules of the game.
Britons have rules "The transmission of civilization", use it to colonial the world.
Crusader have rules "Holy war", use it to invasion of the Middle East.
Ancient China also have rules "教化蛮夷", we certainly is not a good neighbor...
So We will not follow the rules of the USA, We will find own way, to develop new rules of the game, protect our own interests.
I know the Indians will not understand this, because the Indians never had its own rules. Indians enjoy being ruled, Indians enjoy to live in other people's rules.
PS: Plz learn history, Not the same with India, China has never been a colony, Even the most prosperous period in the British, China only lost a Hong Kong. WW2, We never surrender, We eliminated the 1.33 million Japanese troops.
