One comfort, perhaps, for the democrats is that right now China is failing to learn the Singaporean lesson, too. Its current slowdown appears to arise from a failure by the Communist Party to challenge the monopoly powers of state-owned enterprises and to free up new sectors for private enterprise.
也许对民主派来说，一个福音是最近中国也没有学习新加坡的经验。中国经济最近的减速似乎是因为中共没能解决国有企业权力垄断、向民营企业自由开放新部门的问题。
