the communist party leadership a deep resolve to adopt and adhere to pragmatism and meritocracy as core principles of governance. These seems to best explain why successful investment and trade policy and corruption curtailments have been implemented in China in the absence of checks and balances and independent judiciary, free media and free and fair multiparty elections.
Without the getting, the very serious issues of authoritarianism and human rights violation in China, this governance ethic founded on pragmatism and meritocracy and animated by a focused and resolute political will, a political will this ANC government lacks is probably the biggest lesson we can take as a live from Chinese book. A DA national government would have the political will to cut corruption, speed up service delivery, secure our borders and build one South Africa for all. [Applause.] So, on 8 May, vote DA for change, vote DA for a better future. I thank you.
