I've wondered about that too.
I also wonder whether corruption and crime have reached the same levels in China as they have in Russia.
I think that part of the "problem" is that China never went "democratic" while Russia tried it, in their own style, with the results that we now see.
BTW, I like the author's quote:
"Good girls go to Heaven, bad girls go to Hell. Girls on motorcylces go anywhere they want to."
