I see little realistic chance China doesn't "win", short of some internal revolution there. They see to it that the average Joe sees his life gets a little better each year, it's not hard to do. They remain quiescent, and the "central committee" controls the economy. It's efficient so long as they don't make obvious mistakes or need to appease the masses as they do in say France.
Macron can't do much because the unions will shut the country down. That doesn't happen in China.
