Reform and Openness, 19th Dec., 2010.

Mary E. Gallagher wrote an article for the World Politics Journal titled "'Reform and Openness': Why China's Economic Reforms Have Delayed Democracy."

Moreover, China has maintained a rapid pace of economic growth for over twenty years without succumbing to political liberalization--indeed with only the slightest movement toward democratic government.
