I know enough about China to know it is far more complex than I can ever learn. However, I believe there is still a totalitarian grip on it, maybe loosening and tightening the reins as if in control of all. If one accepts this and compacently abides by it, you will be consumed and your youth will be forgotten. A colleague of mine was able to complete his advanced degree in the states at the age of 40 - he worked for years on a farm as part of the cultural revolution. This is the same regime, and until they can look at the past and repudiate the follys, then they will meekly accept whatever future consequences might befall them from the ruling elite. Of course, few chinese really want to be like that but they can't bite off the frosting without finishing the cake.
