So long as all concerned continue to improve their economic status, the people will continue to support, or at least, to not oppose, the Communist regime. This will let the Communists continue their development of China well into the future. But if they suddenly tried to reinstall socialism, their reign might just well be over.

There is another possibility. That is that there is an economic colapse in China during this period. Then, since the govt retains its communist label, and they have significant control, they can reinstall socialism. Socialism will quickly restore living standards, and there will be no revolution.
