What will the People's Republic of China look like in 30 years?

Glass, Precambrian-level microbe activity flourishing despite background radiation (Neil and CDM option).
4 (11.8%)
Neo-Maoist hellhole, Bo Xilai style.
1 (2.9%)
Splintered, competing, independent or semi-independent states and factions.
1 (2.9%)
Similar, CPC dominated, but deep in to middle-income trap.  Declining growth, elite capture of wealth.
12 (35.3%)
Similar, CPC dominated.  Continued growth, instability, Communist Party dominance.
4 (11.8%)
Similar, CPC dominated but more Singapore-ish.  Increasing role of inclusive institutions, relative political liberalism.
5 (14.7%)
End of one-party rule, union with Taiwan, continued growth and prosperity and something resembling Liberal Democracy.
1 (2.9%)
Full-on Liberal Democracy, autonomy for ethnic enclaves, massive Environmental clean-up, lions and lambs partying together.
0 (0%)
Massive China-dominated East Asia Empire, not recognizably authoritarian, basically Yellow Peril nightmare bullshit.

I don't know if I am going to vote, but interested in other people's opinions.

Southeast Asia will become more integrated into China. There are already a lot of ethnic Chinese in Cambodia and Laos.

There's been a large Chinese diaspora population there since the Ming dynasty.  At least.

Could someone change it to "not recognizably democratic"?  That was a misstatement.

What about end of Communist rule, but governed by a clique of goon like Russia?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I'd guess option 4 but with more open Putin-esque gangsterism.
