Interesting. I actually got the impression that the Chinese learnt from Russia.
My second-hand, half-formed, incomplete understanding from-a-distance view, was that the Chinese saw what happens when hard-core "rationalist" economists are sent in. And they decided that no, there's no point considering that path. That when it comes to uncontrolled reform or crackdown - a crackdown is necessary to "protect the state".
Of course... I live miles away. I have no direct knowledge of what is going on. As implied.
