I don't think you understand my assessment of China at all. With the CCP, China is going fully capitalist without plunging into chaos; without the CCP's repressive management, China will probably be "Russia." Socialist opponents of the CCP do exist in China, but as a social force they do not appear significant (certainly not in a position to take power). If you or anyone disagrees with me, I'd like to see concrete evidence.
