This is the exact reason many Chinese don't think we Chinese in mainland could have democracy. I guess there are more people think that way than a decade earlier. Because middle and upper class there are really enjoying the party, and most of the rest are trying their best to rush to the party. I believe it's not a question of chicken and egg. It's all about part of the system starts to be able to have the environment to support the iteration of new generations better prepared for that (Not sure it has to be democracy, I don't believe it's foundation for many good things, but at least some system people are more fairly treated.). However, given rulers are fully aware of this and how the system is currently structured, there is no way to have this kind of thing even in just a tiny part of the system. The best chance is after the collapse of it, but people would suffer and there is no guarantee it would emerge, spread and prevail. And my life span is too short. So there is no real hope for this.
