There is a saying that, in China, the top political career starts at 70.

I don't think the age is the problem. It's corruption.

To be fair, corruption is also a problem in China. But still the consequences are much higher, if you think of province-level book-cooking and what happened to their leaders.

The incentives for policy making are much different in both countries.

Luckily there’s no corruption in China

At least corruption is sometimes punished in China. The agriculture minister was just given what's essentially a life sentence for corruption.

That must be thanks to abundance of freedom.

And somehow sentence from "The good, the bad and ugly" movie (state by Italy born actor) fit on that subject: "If you want freedom you become a priest or a bandit"...

And remember to all the time stick a smile to your face and, internet even, conversations. That is sure fire way to have everything look positive.
