China first opened its economic system to the rest of the world, and only now is it thinking (a bit too slowly) about political reform. Russia instead jumped into democracy, and only then worried about replacing socialism with a market system.
中国首先向世界开放了它的经济体系，并直到现在（步伐太慢了一点）才开始考虑政治改革。而俄罗斯却跳跃式地进入民主体制，然后才开始担心用市场体系代替社会主义的问题。俄罗斯可能是别无选择，但中国式的道路似乎更能带来持久的经济成功。
