They aren't more capable, but at least they are able to take responsibility. Banks will be nationalized the minute they look shaky. Local governments will be recapitalized, and the leaders might get punished. But there won't be as bad a crisis, because someone will foot the bill.

OK, it will cause a moral hazard. There will be a big need to reform. But there already is a big need to reform. And I think there's already a commitment (from the top, and from the general public) for reforms.

Plus, it's easier to grow when you are under 1/5th the GDP per capita.
