And those who created the bomb? : Goldman & Sachs: them they will continue to ensure that our country remains indebted to be able to make a weak raportera their fortunes through speculation as to Greece? And of course the pros unhealthy FRICS will continue to gorge with impunity as the USA where they have to bend a Senate committee to investigate their illegal maneuvers to the point that even the U.S. government bowed to them! But when the European central banks will they react to these predators? If they put it all together, it will be but one by one they are too afraid: it became lamentable

Im certain that if i have a long life, i will see the collapse not only of the communist party, but also of the chinese state. The taiwanese,uyghuirs and tibetans might be related and linked to Chinese society and culture, but i dont see a future where they are politically aligned with the will of Beijing

It is an open secret that China's Communist Party(CCP) don't believe in communism.The real "China's Communist Party" has disappeared from view now. Most people in China don't care about the party's name or ideology.If it can do well,everything is ok.After all, China's culture has a very strong pragmatism characteristics,all the things including political system will constantly evolve along with the changes of time.As Deng Xiaoping said: "It does not matter if the cat is black or white, so long as it can catch mice."No one including CCP itself knows what the China's Communist Party will be in 2030.May be,CCP will become a green cat or blue cat in 2030 if most people in China like a green cat or blue cat in 2030.But "so long as it can catch mice",most people in China don't mind it is a green or blue.

So it is most likely that China's Communist Party still will be ruling the country in 2030.

It really does not matter. In 2030 China will be by-far the largest economy in the world, with a per capita income in the low to middle range among the developed countries. CCP probably will end up be one of the 2 biggest parties in China. The other one: CSP, or China Socialist Party.

Novohispano

Economic growth will end up empowering the individuals in Chine, and the political system will have to become more flexible to accommodate those new demands and maintain the stability.

Vanbrugh

I voted not sure as 2030 is a long way off yet.

Certainly, the party and/or political system will have to change somewhat and thus the touchy issue of political reform will need to be debated at some point if the CCP wants to hold on to power in a one-party state. How successfully it manages to adapt will be key, and no one can predict how that will turn out. No one knows how firm or delicate the CCP's grip on China really is TODAY anyway. It is still an extremely secretive state.

YoungWeber

Will there still be communism is China by 2030, probably not. Will there be an organization called or originating from the CCP, having ruled China continually without interruption, in 2030; yes.

>Will China's Communist Party still be ruling the country in 2030?

DEFITELY..
There's no democracy/freedom/liberty DNA in Chinese people.
Long Live the Chinese Communist party!!!

Aaron.No1 in reply to Libertos

even though China Communnist Party lost its ruling of China, the Chinese State will definitely not collapse in the future. Regarding the persitence and tenacity charateristics of the past 5,000 years Chinese culture,your negative and pessimistic prediction do not have its strong foundation.

Chinese Liberal in reply to vyBFtsdfZy

I believe there is no such thing as "democracy DNA", so you are just being racist by concocting that phrase. How fast and how smoothly a nation transforms into a democracy depends on many factors, e.g. political history, culture, but DNA of its people is certainly not one them.

Michael Dunne

Seems like the number of votes is still a bit on the low side (as of November 19th).

Interesting that "not sure" comes up for both China and the USA.

Felix den Ottolander

It probably will. I believe, at least up until 2030, no other form of government is able to facilitate China's economic development while at the same time keeping the country together. Pressure for political reform will only rise but in the next 10-20 years China is definitely not ready for any democratisation of its rule. In the long run (after 2030), the CCP will most likely be the dominant - not only - party in power. Already, there seems to be a split between the pro-Mao conservatives and advocates of more liberal reforms.

CFernándezdávila

I think that the communist party still be runing the country in 2030 because there is a lack of qualified politicians outside the communist party, they are going to continue in power until a considerable part of the citizens starts taking part in their country, expressing opinions and influencing their politicians

Qing Song in reply to Libertos

China has been a great united state since 2200 year. While the other world power like Rom, Egypt or India, fell and collapsed, China stay the same or has became even bigger,with several times of short period of division and foreign ethnic conquest(but finally the conquerors became Chinese!!).

I have to remind you in this regard that Chinese culture is unique and could get Chinese people united as one. We will not get ourselves separated apart from each other, no matter I live in South or others in North of China.We love China(though its image today is not that good around the world) and Chinese culture.

In addition I wanna say, NO Matter under Dictatorship or Democracy,We Chinese people as a whole will not allow China get divided, and I am afraid that any attempt of its parts(like TAIWAN and TIBET...) to Independence could lead to war, which will definitely be supported by the majority of Chinese people.

Don't ask why because China and Chinese culture is unique and it's hard for you to understand.If you still want to understand, please in a Chinese way, and it could be more easier and less conflicts.
中国是独一无二的!!

>We Chinese people as a whole will not allow China get divided,
you have been brainwashed by CCP...

>and I am afraid that any attempt of its parts(like TAIWAN and TIBET...) to Independence could lead to war,
BRING IT ON.....LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD...
