1.7>原文

Keep one thing in mind, though. China's new leaders want growth, modernity and all of that good stuff, but they don't want to become a Western-style liberal democracy. Last January, when Xi went on a speaking tour of the country, he claimed that his reforms do not equal Westernization. One reason why the Soviet Union collapsed, Xi said, was because it wavered on its beliefs.
