You think in outmoded terms of Chicoms when the reality in China is a nation evolving increasingly into Chicaps.
The old men are dying out and their hold is loostening
. . . meanwhile, technology is enabling Big Brother.
“China is a nation evolving increasingly into Chicaps”
The Chicaps may be more dangerous, with added ‘soft’ power, working the system.
Still, the Chicaps may evolve into fat and lazy just like Uncle Sam and the Euros.
Hopefully, the muzzies will always be stuck in the stone ages.

If that is true. Then the timing of Korean "unification" is everything.

No, politically, China is as unchnaged under the current Comunist leaders as it was under the old ones. Just ask the Hong Kongers who know the noose is gradually doing away with the political differences they were supposed to be keeping.
Free to travel? Yes. And many other purely economic related things? Yes. But to the dictators those are privileges granted and not rights and depending on a Chinese persons poltiical activity subject to be taken away at any time.
The state control, propaganda control, secret political police, political prisoners, and everything else a political monopoly under dictators remains. In real terms there has been ZERO POLITICAL liberalization in China.
Xi has recently got his desire to remain in charge as long as he wants rubber stamped by the rubber stamp “peoples” Congress.
“The old men are dying out and their hold is loostening.”
Age has nothing to do with and the “young” men like Xi have tbe same political mindset as the old ones. They just dress things up better today.
“China is evolving politically”
The social pressures are there for democratization, but the the political reality is growing centralization (reverting recently to one man rule) and increasing police state surveillance and repression.
Already the most technically advanced police state on Earth, China is installing cameras everywhere and monitoring all electronic communication, screened by new artificial intelligence programs. They are taking the genetic information of their people (particularly minority groups like uighurs and Tibetans) on a wholesale basis. They have begun a massive program of compiling files and scoring ALL individuals, based on their political compliance (and increasingly tying all kinds of rewards and punishments to their score), and they are embarking on a five year plan to nationalize all religious organizations under direct communist party control.
