Quero fazer uma aposta contra os novos mandarins autoritarios do maior Estado orwelliano do planeta: contra a opinião, e mesmo a determinação dos autocratas do partido, a China será uma democracia, não igual, mas mais próxima do modelo ocidental do que da atual autocracia comunista em menos de dez anos.
Quem quer apostar comigo?

Western-style politics ruled out
Shanghai Daily, March 11, 2011, Page A2
CHINA will never adopt Western-style political systems, given the country's conditions, its top legislator said yesterday.
"On the basis of China's conditions, we have made a solemn declaration that we will not employ a system of multiple parties holding office in rotation," Wu Bangguo, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National people's Congress, told the annual session of the legislature.
Wu ruled out separating powers between the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government and said the division of parliament into upper and lower houses would also not be considered.
China would not carry out formal privatization, the top lawmaker said.
He said that while China wanted to strengthen its legal system, it would "never blindly follow or imitate others."
"Different countries have different systems of laws, and we do not copy those of certain Western countries when enacting the socialist system of laws with Chinese characteristics," Wu said.
Wu pledged more efforts to revise and improve laws and enact accompanying regulations, in addition to making new laws. "Our legislative tasks are still painstaking and arduous, and legislative work has to get stronger," Wu said.
The legislative work of the NPC Standing Committee this year is to promptly revise laws incompatible with economic and social development and to enact in a timely manner laws vital for pushing forward scientific development and promoting social harmony, he said.
Wu said laws to be revised this year include the Budget Law, Law Concerning the Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases, Criminal Procedure Law, Civil Procedure Law, Civil Procedure Law, Organic Law of Local Governments and Military Service Law.
The Law on Mental Health, Law on Administrative Coercion, and Law on Entry and Exit Administration are among those the NPC Standing Committee plans to enact this year.
Wu said a priority was to guide the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate to complete the group review of judicial interpretations.
