The CCP already has factions. The right-wing factions want all-out capitalism, while the leftwing factions want to prevent state-sector employees from being laid off too quickly (for humanitarian and political stability reasons). Insofar as China is careful not to lay off state-sector employees too quickly, the CCP is sort of already acting in a democratic way by being responsive to the majority-poor masses' concerns about being laid off too quickly. I'm not sure if this is good though, as it may be in China's long-term interests to just pursue all-out capitalism (regardless of how many people are laid off) and use the power of the state to maintain stability while all-out capitalist reforms are being pursued.

All-out capitalism is not feasible if you look at the Chinese history in which all dynasties and regimes were overthrown simply because they made people's life miserable. The former USSR is another perfect example. When I speak of democracy of the CCP, I mean it should function in a democratic way. The CCP was originally a revolutionary party with tough deciplines to restrain the conduct of party members. It has to be transformed to a political party similar to those in the west because the revolution is already over.
