"Thousands of Chinese officials are sent to Singapore each year to learn from the city-state’s experience"

I hope that the anglosphere governments behave like this and I don't know about it. Good or bad, there is a lot to learn by going out and looking at how things work elsewhere.

The most obvious advantage I have seen in the Chinese model vs the Western model is they try things and pick up what works. Using Singapore as a petri dish then importing the ideas that seem to generate wealth is a step beyond any policy I've seen out of a western government in the last few decades. I doubt that is an inherently Chinese thing to do though and I'm sure they'll get lazy in the future - but this is a much better way of running policy than the usual guess-retry-guess-pivot approach that normal people seem to prefer.
