I think dictatorship can only grow to certain size and stuck though.
Dictatorship is very risky, but if the top is doing so bad, a revolution will start anyways.

A dictatorship is where the leader tries to pass the position to his sons or daughters. e.g North Korea, many African and middle east countries.
So mainland China is not a dictatorship. The Chinese leaders are just bureaucrats that implement the policies. China is more like Singapore or Japan where there is 1-party rule or near 1-party rule.
The important thing is how to change China, in the future, into a 2-party system(parties that are big enough to get elected) like the US, Canada or UK. Too many political party is bad for any country especially developing countries.
No, there is no guarantee to that. Same as the western democracy system, no one can guarantee a president elected will be a capable and suitable one.
Under current political system in China, “check-and-balance” mechanism is mainly done within the party itself – different power groups within the party and they, in a way, act as the opposition parties.
I am not sure whether people on LYK know that the political structure of China includes other political parties (民主黨派) as well for its political stability. Within its structure, there is an implicit rule that it must includes certain numbers or percentages of those 民主黨派人士 and actually hold administrative positions from bottom to the top (黨中央和人大). This actually provides the fostering ground for the forming of actual opposition party in China.
I know a mainland Chinese personally and he purposely joined one of the eight 民主黨派 sine he believed it will help him advance faster and higher within the political structure. He has been actually doing pretty well.
If China one day will actually have an opposition party, I believe it will be one of the eight 民主黨派 which is already part of the political structure and possibly have the ability and human resources to run the country when it needs to take over the administrative power. But not the 法輪功 or 社民連!
It has been a GREAT discussion! People can discuss peacefully and objectively, and most importantly – allowing different voices to be heard.
