>> but the Communist Party obviously has other plans right now. The question ask here is if CCP more interested in control or growth - so far they have achieved growth while keeping tight controls but if they need to be perceived as a modern democracy, then they’ll lose that control and perhaps growth as well.

Can China pull that off? Certainly Xi cannot rule forever.
