In Taiwan and South Korea, for example, authoritarian governments after World War II compensated for the weakness of the rule of law by creating transitional institutional arrangements to facilitate GDP growth. In this sense, China has a significant advantage.
比如，在中国台湾和韩国，二战后的威权政府创造了过渡性制度安排来刺激GDP增长，以此弥补法制的不足。在这方面，中国拥有巨大优势。相反，政府能力不够强的国家很少能够成功步入中等收入行列。
