What exactly do you perceive as working in China that isn't working better in America/The West?
Pretty alarming that people here are so anti-American they are willing to ignore genocide and slave labor based on religious beliefs. I guess when you think all structures of hierarchy are based on oppression and power it's easy to dismiss any and all positives that come from these systems.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
― C. S. Lewis
These people legitimately believe they are right on a fundamental level.
