The CCP has avoided mistakes that were committed by the other socialist nations. It is being said that the main reason for the collapse of the USSR was the crash in the oil prices. But that was just a trigger. The real reason was the huge increase in unproductive population in the central Asian states like Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, which overburdened the European part of the USSR.
Common, that's ...
I've heard that theory one other forum and everyone forgets one thing, that for it to have "unproductive" population it the people that would have been born in those provinces before 1972 so they could be 18 and ready to work in 1990 would have to swift the balance in demographics, not the population in 1990.
Besides, there was no such thing as unproductive in communism, don't think you could stay at home and get food stamps.
Those stated did grow but also stayed poor with no money spend from the central authorities on them either.
The most important things were
- the huge drop in oil prices (you can easily see how one drop hammered Russia's economy nowadays)
- the Chernobyl accident put enormous pressure on finances and manpower exactly when the URSS needed them most
- continuous loss of markets for products as their allies in the Warsaw pact grew also poorer and increasingly costly aid that were requested from other countries fighting the evil capitalists
And China is taking steps to avoid a repetition of that scenario. They have imposed strict birth controls in Xinjiang, to prevent the unproductive population from exploding.
Yeah, I've heard of the new vasectomy procedures in Xinjiang, far cheaper and easier to do than in the western world. One bullet to the head and there you go, "birth control".
I disagree with that.China has very good intelligence and awesome hackers.The Chinese are very good at stealing technology from the west,so I don't think that it would be difficult for China to follow the achievements of the Western world.

The CCP will keep it's power and authority in the future decades.I'm not a fan of the Chinese Communist Party,but we can't deny the fact that China turned from a third world country into a global economic powerhouse for about 30 years.
And South Korea did the same without that much hacking and without a Communist part and a GFW. Same for Japan.
