China is getting its incredible growth mostly because of the relaxing of communist idealism and the increasing dose of laissez faire allowed by the central government.
Let Chinese do their own business, they will move mountains.
In the 1990s China privatized many areas of its economy and that triggered the development of private companies and businesses. The coal mining in Shanxi is an impressive yet frightening example what happens when the gov't goes from one extrem (gov't run) to the other extrem (no oversight at all). Alternatively just google for deadly coal mining accidents.
Wenzhou is interesting not because of the "anarchy", but because it has a working network of overseas Wenzhounese.
You said above: "The anarchy part is a consequence, not a cause." I suppose you meant "a consequence of economical growth", because the article and other comment said something similar to "anarchy is the cause for growth" and you seemed to bring a counter point to the discussion.
Then, maybe you can explain why and how anarchy could be a consequence of economic growth.
Economic growth makes a few rich, and those can do whatever they want, especially in a society with low ethical standards. The executive or judical powers are neutralized with money (a.k.a. corruption).
