Capitalism Leads To Democracy?

With 'Independence Day' coming up here is a thought regarding freedom and democracy.

We've been told that if we do trade agreements with China they'd take some more initiatives and eventually lean towards more freedoms. Not necessarily according to Eric X. Li.

A Tale Of Two Political Systems


My thoughts after viewing this video:
When it comes to financial interests we may have many things in common. However, when it comes to the well being of all individuals in either country, neither they nor our system may produce the best possible outcome for those who seek fair and just treatment. Will we become more like communist China. Will China become more like us?
OR
Will neither become the kind of utopian governments that mankind has philosophized about for ages and meet somewhere in the middle of the two instead?
I tend to think it's the latter.
