    I think, I hope, I believe… that’s way too vague mate.

    I cannot read Chinese and I only know a handful of CPC members. There's only so much I can glean about how the Party functions. I won't claim to know more than I do.

    What you’re basically admitting is that you also don’t really know

    I just said that... The future is not decided. Anything can change. The direction the Party goes will be the product of political maneuvers and the voting membership.

    I have yet to see a convincing motivation for the leadership (whether current or future) to commit to it.

    The Party Congress has been pretty explicit about finishing the development of their economic base by 2035, and finish their transition to socialism by 2050.

    Every conspiracy theory claiming that China lies about their timelines - from economic growth projections, to alleviating extreme poverty, to constructing public infrastructure, to filling their "ghost cities", etc - have been unfounded. Therefore, the official timeline set out by the CPC must hold some weight.
