Yes, however the "party" in China is dying off and has let the economic genie out of the bottle, the next generation of Chinese are going to be globalist and capitalist. the "New China" will be very nationalistic, not democratic (as we would see it) but it will not be the old Marxist government we see today. What it will end up evolving into is still unclear.
Do you believe that the same is true of Russia ?
Putin has already tried to put the genie back in the bottle, I see Russia as much likely to revert back to it's Leninist past, but the people trying to pull Russia into a open market society are holding there own and making "some" progress.
