Not at all. China is very far from free-market capitalism. The basis of 
their current position is IP theft, spies, plagiarism as well as the state 
backing their companies.

There was a naive view among the countries of the west that by giving away 
technology and doing business with the chinese government, china would 
become democratic.

This has been proven wrong. The faulty assumption was that it was "doing 
business" when in reality, the government was the counter part, which is 
pretty far from doing business along free-market lines.
