Isn't this the same country and government type that Justine said he admired.

While I wouldn't want to live there permanently, the government does get stuff done.
Edmonton will be lucky to build half of one LRT line in the next 5 years, while China built half a dozen separate lines in Beijing in the same time frame during the run-up to the 2008 Olympics.
The fact is we don't have any right to dictate to them what form of government they have any more than they do to tell us what type of government we should have. That is even more important when so many Chinese don't seem to care what government is in place as long as they have jobs, food in their bellies and a roof over their heads.
