Here you have your answer as to why China will dominate the world 20 years from now. It is not spending vast sums on a diversity bureaucracy nor reparations.
They're spending vast sums on shitty construction projects made with substandard materials in a speculation fueled housing investment craze.
I think you're getting high on your own supply there.
Just because you're trying to explain away China's success does not mean that it is not there.
China's "success" is a lot like every other totalitarian regime's "success." They'll be able to fake it until it all collapses.
Additionally, even after it collapses, there will be defenders. Again just like every other totalitarian regime.
Quite literally in their case.
All those shoddy concrete highrise tenements are one earthquake away from the worst urban deathtoll since WW2.
