China's slow turn to smart growth strategies.

The Communist Party still rules in both Russia and China ,but the
leaders for survival's sake have become more pragmatic like in
abolishing the old collective farm/factory forced labor system that
rapidly industrialized both Russia and China after WW II,but miserably
failed in not addressing the serious costs of mass brutalized suppression of the
people(The Gulag Society) , environmental degradation,climate change and political
uprisings all across both countries in the cities and frontier; Russia( public protests over government
corruption, the Russian billionaire oligarchy supporting Putin's seizure
of power from President Dimitry Medvedev, Pussy Riot)and in
China(Tiananmen Square). The Communist leaders in both countries have
adopted some capitalism/free market philosophies ,but extractive
capitalism is also revolutionary because it's based on unlimited growth for
growth's sake and absolute expansionism. China's leaders want the world to
forget 'Tiananmen' and they have been more pragmatic than Putin in choosing
smart limited growth strategies by putting government controls on
pollution and promoting centrally planned moderate economic development
---China, never an imperialist state for hundreds of years,
recognized that the three major issues for them to face is government
corruption , climate change , and the expanding consumerist-oriented
middle class in their own country.
