At that point, China will have a better chance of improving its legal institutions, increasing political accountability, strengthening protection of private property rights, and making the government genuinely – in Mao’s words – “serve the people.” Without real and significant political change, technocratic reform proposals will treat only the symptoms of China’s economic malaise, without addressing its underlying institutional causes.
若能如此，中国将更有可能改善其法律制度、增加政治问责、强化私人产权保护、让政府真正“为人民服务”（毛泽东语）。没有真正的重大政治变革，技术层面改革方案只能治中国经济症候之标，而不能治其制度性原因之本。
