It is not so bad to live under ccp rule. Before Xi, it was free market mayhem, pollution, wastage. Lots of money leaving china.
Under Xi, clean air, cheap power, dominate in renewable. Challenge US in AI and semiconductor and.... Just like iran, only retaliate against US provocation.

No need ler! Steep discount. Some even pay you to marry them. They already got house and car.

ccp as a political institution will survive like a 6.9-headed hydra. no matter how many heads are chopped new heads will arise. xi dies, yi assumes power, zi stages a coup and takes over. you can change the facade but you can never change the evil immortal heart deep in its carcass. russia for sexample. a “soft” leader gorbachev helped usher perestroika and the fall of berlin wall, a lousy yeltzin took over and everything went south including dissolution of the ussr, and now putin is running it like the ussr. the ussr is never dead, just a change of name. same with cccp and ccp. the moment tiongcock is democratic like the west there will be violent civil war. tiongcock can never be united with either a weakling or strongman without absolute power and ruthlessness. tiongs only kowtow to ruthless power and limitless wealth. good workers horrible bosses. such is the chinese fate.

You're falling into the Western (primarily Anglo-Saxon) trap of viewing the world through black-and-white lenses. You are either a democracy (good) or a dictatorship (bad). No in-between, no other options or variants.

I don't have a crystal ball, but I can say that ancient civilisations like the Chinese or Persians don't follow the Western playbook when it comes to civilizational cycles or political and social evolution. Will China become a liberal democracy in the Western mould, where individual rights trump the collective? Highly unlikely. Will China evolve a political system that will ensure accountability, good governance, and social justice with a commensurate degree of individual freedom? Very likely, but it will not look anything like the Western model. Westerners are so conditioned in their worldview that they cannot imagine an entirely different system than what they are familiar with.

In fact China is evolving before our eyes, has been evolving in the past 30 years... of course with hiccups now and then... even periods of regression (Xi in some ways with regard to the market, but he did put right certain excesses and injustices that have crept into system).

Take-away is: if you look at China through Western-tinted glasses and think in binaries, you'll never understand China.

i look at tiongcock from a historical perspective. it has the most tragic and deadliest history in all civilizations. 6.9 out of the top 11 deadliest wars in history involved tiongcock, and majority of the deaths and suffering were chinese. it struggles to wake up from that nightmare. and it still does.

Well, as Kishore says, China will have 200 bad years followed by 200 good years. It doesn't follow any set trajectories that Western academics and political scientists and journos have outlined.

End of the day, let the Tiongs decide what country, what system they want. When you are an ancient continental civilization, things move glacially. Still, I was surprised on a recent trip to Beijjng after a 30 year hiatus: no spitting, clean streets, people queuing up for the subway, spanking new bullet trains travelling at 300-350km/h (faster than Shinkansen or Eurail), wide pedestrianised streets we don't have in Singapore, and no homeless freezing on the streets like during the Republican era, the Beidou in taxis giving lane positions (more precise than GPS) and traffic light countdowns, every transaction cashless... it was surreal. With VPN I remained connected with outside world... no sense of repression, no sense of big brother watching. Immigration and customs much more polite than their gangsterish US counterparts.
