One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages. That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century.Who wrote that? Thomas Friedman of the New York Times. Is any comment necessary? Possible?

Well, this is after all the man who wrote a book called "The World is Flat."
