China does have the mechanisms in place to transition out of oneparty rule just as has happened throughout South East Asia. In mymind, it is not if it will happen but a question of when it willhappen.
The good news here is that it appears that the cadres will beforgiven for now and allowed to retire gracefully. This reallyallows a clean sweep from top to bottom and the introduction of freshblood.
This also makes it an ideal time to introduce democratic reforms. Butif not, the way is quite clear for a future transition. Everyonewaits out the decade and prepares for the next transition. Sooner orlater the people's will will be accepted slow as it may seem.
The miracle of China, not seen elsewhere, is that it is so large thateven the most egregious thief is small potatoes. This means all ourassumptions are suspect. I wonder how many thieves actually made thecalculation that they could be forgiven?
Chinese Economist:Corruption Will Kill Regime, But Not China

A former PekingUniversity professor, Zhang Weiying, told a public forum last weekhow corruption could be solved in China, and emphasized that it onlyposes a serious threat to the Communist Party and not the nation.
Zhang, who was head ofthe Guanghua School of Management, spoke about the “twodifficulties of anti-corruption” at The Observer Forum in Beijingon Dec. 19, where China’s new political and economic direction forthe next decade was discussed following the leadership change inNovember.
Zhang commented thatdeeply entrenched corruption in the Chinese Communist Party has beenworsening, and he believes few officials would be found free ofcorrupt behavior if they were all put under investigation.
He therefore proposedusing the recent 18th National Congress as the start of a newtimeline, and suggested only punishing those Party officials whocontinue to commit such crimes, while overlooking those who havecorrected their behavior since the start of the new leadership.
In reference to thereport of the 18th National Congress, Zhang opposed former leader HuJintao’s comment that if corruption continues, it will ruin boththe Party and the country, saying only the Party will be threatenedif the new anti-corruption campaign is unsuccessful.
Recently, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, WangQishan, was appointed as the Secretary of the Central Commission forDiscipline Inspection (CCDI). This was widely seen as an attempt toemphasize the importance being given to the campaign.
Insiders revealed thisas the new Party leader Xi Jinping’s idea because the two men hadalready reached a mutual understanding on anti-corruption efforts.
Analysts believe thatWang, who previously had portfolios in finance and economics, willcontinue his forceful style in his role as CCDI secretary, and islikely set to focus on corruption in China’s financial sphere—wherethere is plenty of it.
