The Russian economy is far too dependent on oil and other natural resources, and the legitimacy of China’s one-party system could collapse quickly in an economic crisis. The way that illiberal regimes use the law for their own ends will not inspire the confidence of investors, either – at least not in the long run.
当然有理由对此表示质疑。俄国经济过分依赖石油和其他自然资源，而中国一党体制的合法性可能会在经济危机中迅速解体。非自由政权出于自身目的利用法律的事实无法激起投资者的信心——至少从长远来看理应如此。
