And, the further, the more difficult it will be for China to follow the achievements of the Western world, because capital has to move on its own, if not it is not capital, but the party moves. "

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.
China has accumulated lots of capital and it will accumulate even more in the future.A part of this capital might run away from China,but there's still lot's of it.
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 that my friend is why China was once called "The Sleeping Giant". Yes, indeed they were once a large poor country who often gets bullied by other neighbouring countries like Japan but look at them now they're one of the superpower countries with a high technology, and huge defense capabilites that is arguably front the western countries.
So, China is now standing tall against other countries and declared some law that no ever international court ruling could make their law obsolete. That's why CPP is a somehow a treat even to their own citizens because they are the law but we can't deny the fact the CPP is one of the reasons why China is one of the largest economy in the world.

Once upon a time, China was indeed a great empire. But time changes a lot, then came the times of decline. At the beginning of the 20th century, the ideas of communism-socialism, in the Soviet interpretation, with a flavor of Eastern totalitarianism, came to China. China, the USSR, and most other "socialist" countries initially denied all the values that the Western world carried - the value of life, private property, the legal system. Including denial of copyright. Theft of technology has become for many countries of the socialist camp, and joined them, the only way to be at least a little civilized and have at least some technology. The greatness of the Chinese economy has become a consequence (whether it is a mistake or not, a topic for a separate dialogue) of the trust of Western countries, investments in the Chinese economy, the transfer of jobs, along with technologies, and the organization of demand for manufactured goods in their markets.
