This is marked as a dupe, but I can't find any other stories on this topic that are more active / higher-voted. Can someone provide a link if they have it?
This is the norm for China, and it has worked (for its large part of world domination history), so nothing to hold your breath for. In that aspect, Deng Xiaoping was rather an anomaly (although his large part is still the norm). China produces anomalies every now and then. For anomalies to become the norm is atypical.
