Singapore is an authoritarian Confucian state dressed up as a democracy. China's leaders would like to return to Confucian norms if they need to ditch Communism. The question is whether that will be enough to forestall demands for democracy from the masses.

Re #12

What I try to convey was that, if Chinese communist regime is as efficient and free of corruption as Singapore leadership, they could put up with authoritarianism for quite a while. However, as it stands, the regime is corrupt to the core and quite inefficient. So it cannot entertain any chance of staying around.
