Does China Truly Offer an Alternate Economic Model?

First of all, China's economy has not come to a "grinding halt." It's predicted that China will continue to grow at somewhere between 5 and 7.5% next year--more than any other major economy in the world.

Secondly, please stop trying to put forward the American economic model as the "best" for all nations. China has a history of strong government control, an enormous population, and a very different culture than Western nations.

Finally, if any of you have actually been to China, you will find that far more people there support the Chinese government than we Americans support our bureacracy. Yes, there are dissenters, but this, compared to China's enormous population, is almost insignificant. If you talk to almost anyone living in China, you will find that he/she is very supportive of the current government and thinks it is much stronger than the U.S. model (which I believe it is).
