The Chinese understand the advantages of big buisness and capitalism for their country. This is not however, a sign that they're becoming more democratic in my mind.
People need to remember that you can have an oppressive regime that's friendly(even supportive) of big buisness but is restrictive in other ways. Not to invoke Godwins law to badly, look at Nazi Germany. They were restrictive in many ways, but they liked the big companies in their country.
IMHO, government backed capitalism isn't necessarily a sign that China is becoming democratic.
