The CCP, the ruling party of China likes to define itself as "Socialism with Chinese characteristics."
That particular characteristic is unrepentant capitalism complete with repression of workers, minimal consumer protections, and massive inequality of opportunity and wealth.
Starting at the earliest in the 1970s, when state-capitalism was adopted within the CCP create the conditions and trigger required for a communist revolution in the nominally Communist nation of China.
For me the death of the current emperor Xi Jinping would be ideal, as a totalitarian who has terrorized, wrote his name into the constitution, invented an ideology around loyalty to him, and purged the party so much that the concentration of power and lack of a clear successor makes an easy or peaceful transition of power very difficult. This is on top of new generations of Chinese subjects which do not have memories of war nor starvation, are wealthy, politically conscious, and no longer satisfied just by increasing living standards.
