Collapse is inevitable unless the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) cushions its authoritarian ways – an obsession with secrecy, a culture of cover-ups, a penchant for playing up good news and playing down the bad, censorship of traditional and social media, growing intolerance for free speech and press, civil society and dissent, and a lack of viable checks and balances.
