China will not fail. However, it will be ridiculously inefficient for the foreseeable future. I'm still holding out for the current leadership to be more progressive against corruption, since the country's reputation really hinges right there (see tainted baby milk and lead toy paint, etc). They can only use so much force against social unrest, since the world's been very wary since Tiananmen.
