@amoy like your scientific use of terms will use them: would like to place some thoughts down to explore different angles.
Not sure what the reference to India is and it being exogenously imposed on colonies ... Singapore and Hong Kong and Macau ? is there something wrong with a colonial history is it a hindrance ? One must also appreciate PRC was having only endogenous growth until the Pakis came in late 1960s and early 1970s and helped opened up the PRC economy and brought the Americans in and later NATO, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea economies and WTO frameworks. I suppose it links to also say PRC is a exogenous type entity with the aim to be a endogenous concern suddenly.
If you want to compare exogenous and endogenous growth nearby PRC look at Japan. They are one of the primary reason why South Korea and Taiwan boomed and continues to (and PRC). Taiwan , Singapore, South Korea + Japan.
I am not fully knowledgeable about Chiang Jr like you seem to state but know my overview of him. The linkage to Japan is far more advantageous to him and Taiwan compare to Soviet Union and China and later PRC. I suppose you are trying to make a reference between Chiang Jr and President Xi. To justify the rule of President Xi. Is this one of the chapters in President Xi red book (have you read it). I get your style of approach. But I dont understand why that continues to happen in PRC a sense of promise and certain fulfillment to attain a target (of democracy). Why does PRC need democracy at all and ever. Whatever !! I think what you are trying to say is Chiang Jr had the benefit and agreement to what Jacky Chan said:
Chinese shouldn't get more freedom, says Jackie Chan - Asia - World - The Independent
I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not. I'm really confused now. If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic. Taiwan is also chaotic," Chan, 55, told the Boao Forum for Asia – a regional conference modelled on the World Economic Forum in Davos – when pressed by fellow panel members to take a stance against rigorous control of the media on the mainland and to give his views on suffocating censorship in the growing Chinese film market.
"I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want," he said.
Forget democracy the Chinese people dont need to it be successful !!
Also your use of the scientific terms needs careful use. Because factually a endogenous process is having democracy. Taiwan politics is dynamic economy today and one can read their constitution (which is really a Chinese peoples constitution). Taiwan has done a lot of work for PRC people. How they reached where they are today Chiang Jr was integral part. I really dont think PRC can handle a Lee Teng Hui and even a Park Geun-hye and to some extent Lee Hsien Loong that are where they are because of a endogenous process. Even a Ma Ying-jeou is read by a constitution and a new leader will be in Taiwan which is a endogenous process. They have come through their own systems. The systems are absent in PRC and it would be chaos to even think how such a system would work in PRC unless one looks at Taiwan carefully and with care. The economic world has taught everyone today (not sure about tomorrow) that debt does not matter. What this mean is economic reasoning and happiness will not be the reason for change. Low interest rates all over the world has provided ammunition to many to continue where they would normal fail. There is no endogenous process about that.
How Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea started needs to be understood. PRC is far far away from its start. A example is Mao Zedong a person who has passed away in 1970s continue to impact modern PRC people and someone made a clip and people got excited.
PRC people needs to start by look at India founding fathers more to be honest. I would wish PRC have a endogenous start like India did and not like European Union and United States of America. Large country with large population has different endogenous and exogenous (start) process.
