Capitalism fixed China. Trust is a big component of well-functioning capitalism. The cultural revolution killed trust. Therefore, I disagree.

There are significant other variables that you are not accounting for: 1. Chinese are smarter and harder working 2. China is better positioned to gain from a manufacturing-led development boom because of better ports and proximity to Japan, SK, TW, etc.
Russia didn't have the "cultural revolution," but Stalin did kill an estimated 9 to 50 million people. That should satisfy your requirement that people understand that humanity is evil. Yet Russia lacks China's development. In short, your theory is interesting but wrong.

I don't know the history as well as you do, so I won't comment. I know a guy in China who admitted that his grandmother committed cannibalism during the cultural revolution...never heard of stuff like that coming out of Russia. Unclear whether this motivates him to work hard.
