The more one debates, the clearer it becomes. It is evident that in a country entering the industrialization period, centralized management can facilitate a faster transformation, as seen in South Korea, Taiwan, China, and Vietnam.

When industrial development reaches a higher stage, the GDP that industry itself can support is basically at its limit, and the next step is to develop a consumer economy. A consumer economy requires empowering the citizens, which, to put it simply, means that anything not prohibited by law is permissible; at this point, democracy may have its advantages.

However, if a country jumps directly into a consumer economy before its industry has reached a high level of development, it may fall into the common "middle-income trap," where the entire economy can only hover at a relatively low level.

On another note, in such a "relatively free" society, public security indeed poses a challenge, such as issues related to gambling, drugs, and other vices, which are not easy to manage.
