They have politicians do they not?China is a single-party technocracy with absolutely rampant corruption.China has politicians. My argument is that the elimination of politicians would decrease corruption. China really isn't a technocracy, at least not in the way I'm defining it.

If you work in the government you have a single task (as opposed to a politician who must be educated on all fronts) and you are, of course, hired not elected.

What exactly am I not understanding?
