No point in copying China or USA or UK or Japan or whoever. Study them sure but actually figure out what they're doing that is successful & what they're doing that isn't.
For e.g. study the strengths & weaknesses of one-party vs 2-party vs multi-party systems. Usually where one system has a strength the other system has a weakness. So what you need to do then is craft a system that can combine as much of their strengths as possible.
I'll give you one example.
One-party strength is that they get work done faster however their weakness is that there's also less public oversight. It's the opposite with 2 or multi-party systems. So what do you need to do to make your political system to both be faster but also have public oversight all the while ensuring the those making the decisions are competent?
Ans: Make councils staffed with experts or technocrats that can make policies & laws & have parliamentary oversight over them. How would this work? Lets take an economic council as an example
1) Elect a parliament that does not make the laws or policies itself. Political parties are banned. Elected officials speak for themselves & their own constituencies only. You've just eliminated the biggest incentive for mafias & thugs to want to come into power.
2) EC has reps from finance & planning divisions, Islamic scholar, SBP and anyone else I can't think of at the moment.
3) EC drafts law & sends it to parliamentary committee on economy. PCE is staffed with experts appointed by parliament & ARE NOT part of the gov or parliament. They're essentially independent experts working on behalf of the parliament to keep the gov accountable.
4) PCE looks over the law & can then approve or reject.
This is just one simple example & I came up with it in less than a day. Could use some work but it's a lot better than choosing b/w western democracy or CCP. It just takes a bit of imagination, creativity and most importantly a willingness to learn from others and NOT BE IDEOLOGICALLY RIGID in your thinking.
