I agree absolutely with Dr. Srinvasan that "Democracy is not just elections and free speech". In Taiwan they have too much elections and free speech. Every year there is an election in Taiwan and the politicians spend half of the time in campaigning. Taiwan became prosperous after the authoritative rule of the Chiang Kai Shek and his son but started to decline after following democracy. The two main parties became polarised and spent all their time in "saliva wars". The Taiwanese are pretty educated and yet democacy does not work. In contrast, their Mainland brother is doing much better despite the fact that it is much poorer and has much more problems.
