The ChiComs are not exactly undermining themselves. Their long range goals remain the same. All they've done is drop some Marxist economics.

It would not bother me at all to see their regime suffer the same fate as Gorbachev.

I'm okay with that perspective. A democratic system is always the better political system. My concern, is that I don't want China to suffer the same fate as the post USSR.

I see little benefit to China, if they suddenly became democratic AND remained an "India" or "Philipines" (both are democracies) for the remainder of the century. But if they transition slowly, and can become a giant sized version of Japan (potentially 10 times larger, economically), then that is the road I want them to take.

I want to see corruption end in China and democracy to flourish there. Probably more so than most on the FR.
