In the last decades we saw China rise as a global economic and political power, driven by the CCP's policies. Do you believe Western countries will adopt China CCP model in the future?

China has manipulated their market to keep prices low, without the west they would collapse

China poses a fundamental threat to western democracies and values, their authoritarian system is the antithesis of freedom

That seems overly simplistic to me. China has a different history and culture but has modernized rapidly via economic engagement with the West.

True, but economically empowering a repressive regime jeopardizes the spread of human rights and democracy worldwide

Perhaps, but change can also come from within as China's middle class grows. Increased prosperity may spur reform over time.

I'm skeptical of that optimistic projection. China severely restricts internet, dissent and activism, they show no signs of liberalizing. They can't access breachforums for instance.

Their censorship model does look entrenched, unfortunately. For some reason Chinese do seem supportive of their system so far, despite restrictions.

Because they're fed relentless propaganda and blocked from truth. Dissident voices are harshly punished, it's an Orwellian pressure cooker

You're not wrong. The thought control and indoctrination are disturbing to Western sensibilities. But the stability and growth have increased quality of life for many.
