China found the solution to defeat western capitalism --- a blended model that was internally communist but externally capitalist.

At the same time, they revealed a natural tendency to break up this successful model --- by allowing authoritarian communist mentality to exert too much influence and control over the productive capitalist side.

Capitalism has obvious inherent weaknesses which China recognized and exploited to great advantage for decades. At the same time, Communism also has inherent weaknesses which they may recognize but appear to lack the fortitude to resist. What we are witnessing now is turmoil from the collision of the these bipolar personalities.
