No one rules if no one obeys. That's why communism always eventually fails. They can't keep the consent of the people under them to keep meaningful production going. The only reason countries like china have gotten away with it so far is because we are subsidizing them with trade. You take that away, they fail.
Even then their population demographics have fucked them. 30 years after the 1 child policy they're out of 30 year olds. Once all their "boomers" that are now responsible for the lionshare of their economic production exit the workforce they won't be able to sustain their current model any further. They ain't as smart as everyone thinks they are.
