What is completely false is that China's model has any resemblance with the Jeffersonian model.
too stupid, Jefferson stood for freedom and capitalism and Adam Smith just like the Chinese and Wen Jiaboa do.
Baiamonte,
Sory, to hear that. If you think that after reading both links, I can only conclude you are a functional illiterate.
"They do not fully comprehend the information and ideas being received, studied, or applied and are not aware they do not understand.

personal attack from typical liberal who lacks IQ for substance!!
Jefferson stood for freedom and capitalism and Adam Smith just like the Chinese and Wen Jiaboa do.
That is not a personal attack, sory. But sustaining your thesis in spite of the evidence I presented is stretching rationality ( or reading comprehension) beyond its limits.
Look at the differences between the models. Only taxation is slightly similar.
-----------------------------------------------
Political
China model
An absence of political liberalization
Strong leading role of ruling political party
Authoritarianism
Jefferson
It was the duty of citizens to vote, and the Jeffersonians invented many modern campaign techniques designed to get out the vote.
Freedom of speech and the press are the best methods to prevent tyranny over the people by their own government.
Strong state and local governments and a weak federal government.
-----------------------------------------------
Economic
China model
Gradual reform rather than neo-liberal economic shock therapy
A strong and pro-development state
Export Led Growth,
State Capitalism
Jefferson
The yeoman farmer best exemplifies civic virtue and independence from corrupting city influences; government policy should be for his benefit
Jeffersonian agrarians held that the economy of the United States should rely more on agriculture for strategic commodities than on industry.

Taxation
China Model
The tax on an individual's income is progressive. As at , an individual's income is taxed progressively at 3% - 45%.
The corporate tax rate for domestic and foreign companies is 25%.
Small companies pay 20% corporate tax in certain cases.
Jefferson
"a graduated income tax that would serve as a disincentive to vast accumulations of wealth and would make funds available for some sort of benign redistribution downward
--> Notice Jefferson was a big fan of trickle up!!
