Since the appearance of the China collapse theory after the Tiananmen incident, discussions over the Middle Kingdom's collapse have been incessant. However, compared with China's rise today, it is interesting to observe the theory's failed prediction and misinterpretation of empirical evidences. This article aims to close the gulf between theory and reality and improve on models that attempt to forecast China's future. Domino theories and pessimistic predictions about communist states fail to take into account the CCP's ability to react and respond to changes and challenges from the outside world. This article tackles the issue from the approach of state capacity theory. |
