That's a pretty hopeful statement. I'm not so sure China will become democratic in the long run. Democracy has been an aberration in human history so far, and the rise of a capitalist dictatorship as the major world power could well happen. The constitutional style freedoms of the West are pretty special and unusual in human history.
