An unstable dictatorship is not the opposite of a democracy. Nor is democracy something that "China" would do well with, especially given that the country in its current composition is an empire that contains several distinct countries. Singapore did very well economically with a non-ideological dictatorship, as did Taiwan, both mostly peacefully, over the same postwar period that China went through successive mass slaughters. One can hope that China makes the transition safely to a stable government, but while they continue to treat their various populations as simply pawns with no rights to health, safety, the rule of law, then dissatisfaction and unrest remain a risk.
