Gradualism is naturally the most feasible approach to any
             situation. Since the fall of the iron curtain, these two Communist
             power houses have chose to move towards democracy. China has chosen
             to take the natural, more gradual approach to democracy where as
             Russia has chosen the fast-paced, more dangerous approach. These two
             nations have chosen to change their economies from a collectivized
             command one to a market oriented one in order to increase the ezdard
             of living in their countries. As we have seen in recent years, China
             is booming and becoming more and more successful, while Russia seems
             like it is regressing back to parochial ways. It is impossible to
             compare anything but Russia and China's approaches to change, and the
             results that incurred. The two nations have vastly different
             economies and to compare one economy to another would be illogical.
             China and Russia's approach to change are vastly different,
             almost like night and day. China's political and economic policy has
             always been to do things gradually. Whereas Russia believed in going
             through the necessary changes quickly, so that the hardship would in
             turn pass just as quickly. In the implementation of their policies,
             we have seen that China's approach has led to a 29% of growth in their
             industrial field. But in comparison, Russia only yielded 15% with
             their approach. But one must keep in mind that China has more
             industrial sectors than does Russia, so their job in improving
             industry is notably easier than Russia's feat in developing an
             Politically, the two nations have the same policies that they
             held in their economies. China believes in gradually letting the
             people have more access to political freedom. And again, Russia's
             policy has been to flood them all at once with these new found
             freedoms. Unfortunately Russia's policy hasn't been the most
