中国共产党刚刚完成其所谓的“三中全会”在党的领导奠定了一系列的改革，旨在世界第二大经济体解决中的长期问题。

与此同时，在美国， 29名国会议员见面会本周最新，最伟大的'超级委员会'拿起上个月被踢在路上的罐头。如果国会无法拿出一个预算协议在12月13日，世界上最大的经济体可能遭受政府关机时电流持续分辨率到期年1月15日，一个月后，其次是另一个潜在的债务上限危机。

换言之，中国将继续规划未来，而美国党派斗争，成功应对眼前的重要性，少得多的地址长期问题问题是太消耗。

“鉴于美国的政治局势是这样的，重点是只停留在办公室，肯定有损更为迫切的问题，这个国家需要谈论和做的，坦率地说，说：”李安在纽约大学的兼职教授和作家美国可以从中国学习。 “美国现在太专注于短期政治选举[问题]所以只要政治家进入办公室，第二天，他们正在考虑关于筹款。 ”

当然，中国官员不担心政治选举 - 这样的好处是一党统治。但李说，中国的制度还有比没有严重的政治反对派有更多的麻烦。

“即使他们引进选举......他们需要的人，以证明他们已经做了一些，才可以得到更高的职位，”李说，中国的政治制度。 “这几乎就像我们的企业制度，你没有得到的CEO通过选举。基本上，你必须证明自己通过你的整个职业生涯中，你有能力为这一地位。 “

换句话说，中国的政治制度是一个任人唯贤，而不是美国的“政治言论”往往带有天（选） 。李说，美国越来越像中国在这方面， “将是一个可喜的变化，帮助美国把更能干的人在办公室和激励更多的东西一般社会需求。 ”

我将投票支持。你怎么样？

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?
