中國共產黨剛剛完成其所謂的“三中全會”在黨的領導奠定了一系列的改革，旨在世界第二大經濟體解決中的長期問題。

與此同時，在美國， 29名國會議員見面會本周最新，最偉大的'超級委員會'拿起上個月被踢在路上的罐頭。如果國會無法拿出一個預算協議在12月13日，世界上最大的經濟體可能遭受政府關機時電流持續分辨率到期年1月15日，一個月後，其次是另一個潛在的債務上限危機。

換言之，中國將繼續規劃未來，而美國黨派鬥爭，成功應對眼前的重要性，少得多的地址長期問題問題是太消耗。

“鑑於美國的政治局勢是這樣的，重點是只停留在辦公室，肯定有損更為迫切的問題，這個國家需要談論和做的，坦率地說，說：”李安在紐約大學的兼職教授和作家美國可以從中國學習。 “美國現在太專注於短期政治選舉[問題]所以只要政治家進入辦公室，第二天，他們正在考慮關於籌款。 ”

當然，中國官員不擔心政治選舉 - 這樣的好處是一黨統治。但李說，中國的制度還有比沒有嚴重的政治反對派有更多的麻煩。

“即使他們引進選舉......他們需要的人，以證明他們已經做了一些，才可以得到更高的職位，”李說，中國的政治制度。 “這幾乎就像我們的企業制度，你沒有得到的CEO通過選舉。基本上，你必須證明自己通過你的整個職業生涯中，你有能力為這一地位。 “

換句話說，中國的政治制度是一個任人唯賢，而不是美國的“政治言論”往往帶有天（選） 。李說，美國越來越像中國在這方面， “將是一個可喜的變化，幫助美國把更能幹的人在辦公室和激勵更多的東西一般社會需求。 ”

我將投票支持。你怎麼樣？

China’s Communist Party just completed its so-called “third plenum,” where party leaders laid out a series of reforms aimed at addressing medium- to long-term issues in the world’s second-largest economy.

In America, meanwhile, 29 members of Congress will meet this week as the latest, greatest 'super-committee' picks up the can that was kicked down the road last month. If the committee isn’t able to come up with a budget deal by Dec. 13, the world’s largest economy could suffer another government shutdown when the current continuing resolution expires Jan. 15, followed by another potential debt ceiling crisis a month later.

In other words, China continues to plan years ahead while America is too consumed with partisan battles to successfully deal with issues of immediate importance, much less address long-term issues.

“Given the political situation in the U.S. is such that the focus is on just staying in office, that certainly detracts from more urgent issues that this country needs to talk about and do, frankly,” says Ann Lee, adjunct professor at NYU and author of What the U.S. Can Learn from China. "The U.S. now is too focused on short-term reelection [issues] so as soon as politicians get into office, the very next day they're thinking about fundraising."

Of course, Chinese officials don’t have to worry about reelection – such is the benefit of one-party rule. But Lee says China’s system has more going for it than just the absence of serious political opposition.

“Even if they introduce elections…they require people to prove they’ve done something before they can get higher office,” Lee says of China’s political system. “It’s almost like our corporate system where you don’t get the CEO through elections. You basically have to prove yourself through your entire career that you’re capable for that top position.”

In other words, China’s political system is more of a meritocracy than America’s where “political rhetoric” often carries the day (and the election). Lee says America becoming more like China in this regard “would be a welcome change to help the U.S. put more competent people in office and align incentives more for what general society needs.”

I would vote for that. What about you?
