"No gains without pains."
Achievements are obtained not only by hard-work but also through sacrifice.
The ugliness of a society is for corrupted officials to reap via other ordinaries' sacrifice (i.e. too big to fail). That is why Chinese internet force is lovely where officials are constantly under monitor of common people, and top officials, including CPC standing members of Politburo, are being commented freely.
There was an internet joke saying that if CPC officials take bribe, a project will still be finished; if Russian officials take bribe, a project will get started; but if Indian democratic elected officials take bribe nothing will appear on the ground.
So why would you start any project anyways, much less likely to see the tears which run anyway for other bad reasons.
Don't think copy/paste others' system will automatically make you strong as the others. That's too hunky-dory. The Chinese know the flaw of their system, know how the flawed system come into existence, because most of the leaders are bottom-up guys who know their culture and tradition, the bright and dark spots of their culture. Gee, even Xi Jinping was a farmer for long time! And they work painstakingly to overcome it.
The problem with you seems that you don’t know that your culture doesn’t support your Western system, and your politicians work mostly for their own benefits instead of your countrymen by utilizing the dark side of your system. And yet you (and many of your others) prefer your system due to Western ideological propaganda.
