This article was really short, but discusses David Shambaugh’s ideas about China. He believes that unless Xi Jinping introduces major political reforms the economy will tank and the party will crumble in the next decade or so. He also discusses how Xi Jinping’s interpretation of the rule of law is disturbing. I have to agree with both of these. I  thought his claim that china would do well with a soft authoritarian and semi-democratic system was interesting. Even though I agree with most of his claims, becasue he stated everything with such boldness and certainty it makes me hesitant to believe  it is going to happen just as he states.
