If China embraces capitalism more tightly that will be a good thing for the world. The problem with China is not its wonderful people or culture, nor its prosperity, the glaring problem with China is Communism and the morality of authoritarian style central planning and the Xi/Putin axis of evil.

What China is not do Communism in any shape or form. It used to be back in Mao's days. Now it's just capitalist authoritarianism.

What you are mistakingly calling "capitalism" that China should adopt is... democracy.

I’d argue. The CCP isn’t ideologically opposed to democracy but rather capitalism. Capitalism is an inherent feature of democracy. They despise capitalism (the Communist Party) even though they will play the long march and use it to subvert and destroy non-Communist ways of life.
