China becoming such an economic power despite not being democratic or have much free-speech is changing the world and politics.

Same with the Gulf countries - no democracy but enormous wealth and now becoming more important in global affairs

Could say it might change when oil reserves dry up but then you have a situation like Kuwait - the only Gulf country with anything close to democracy - which is now becoming more authoritarian and their own citizens blame parliament for constraining their economy while their neighbours flourish

China is apparently in real trouble now. Due to corruption, the property market has collapsed and that feeds in to the issues with not having enough workers to pay for the OAP's. They really want couples to have 3+ children, but the young couples have small properties that only accommodate 1 child and they are not prepared to invest in bigger properties to support a bigger family, so there is no population growth.

China is basically in a downward spiral and they now need immigrants to keep the country going which is not really attractive in an authoritarian country
