>we still have many many things to learn from the success of western societies in the last several decades otherwise China will fail quickly.

What makes you think that? Reading The Economist?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but one thing I think that's good about Chinese society that is very different from the west is the whole anti-personality cult thing they put in place since Mao. They are very careful to avoid elevating people to god status and except for Xi, most government officials are anonymous and avoid publicity.

In the west we have this really outrageous culture of fame. Everyone wants to know what famous people are thinking and what their opinion about anything is. I think our society might be better without celebrities and the culture of fame.
