A one-party state, operating optimally, would attract all the best people into the only party in the country, where there will always be an experienced leader in waiting.
If Hu Jintao, the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, fell under a bus he would have 9 other potential replacements waiting in the wings of the Politburo, who will in turn be elected by the 27 in the Politburo Standing Committee.
The point is that all of 38 of them will have proven themselves in government and within the party.
The constitution of the Chinese Communist Party is indeed a finely-balanced instrument, precision-engineered to avoid the current North Korea scenario.
Only cultural chauvinism prevents the West from acknowledging that the Chinese are the most rationally-governed nation on earth.

The Koreans therefore have a de facto monarchy and I would love to be the one to point this out to them.
