I think you guys should keep in mind another threat the Communist Party is faced with - a sudden standard of living rise is VERY dangerous to them.
You see with affluence comes a feeling of being able to control their lives better. So when people feel that they are going to start making demands on their government to make sure they can live better. I want more police because i have a nice house and everybody wants to rob it. The street Infront of my house should be repaved. My local school is substandard and my kids deserve better. There are too many poor people begging me for money can you implement some welfare system so they are not in my face all day. Hey when I get old and can't work anymore the government should take care of me. Stuff like that happens.
Now people start makind demands that they wouldn't have dared to previously. The government tries to push it back. People start talking about having more say in the government. The monopoly of the Communist Party starts collapsing.
