The only thing that will save China is agreed upon values rooted in equality and democracy. If you look at how they have always operated - it's always been under authoritarianism. The ego of their leaders constantly set bad precedents of behavior and set aside morals in favor of politics and power above all else. It's their culture.
"Thus it is practically certain that the masses cannot be aroused from this apathy to any assertion of resentment against their oppressors. We find that the average Chinese have little or no conception of fundamental rights, according to the theory developed in the West during the seventeenth century and expressed in mass movements in the eighteenth-the theory that every individual is entitled by the fact of birth certain privileges, to restrict which is unlawful tyranny in another. The Chinese masses look upon what we should call justice, if they get it, more as something fortunate than as something to which they are entitled. Oppressions, conversely are more misfortunes than injustices. Being looted is about like suffering from a hurricane or other force of nature. So here, among the masses, we have the inertness of ignorance. Among the educated, the great majority of them, we have the inertness of indifference, each looking out for himself, but unconcerned with the whole.
