My uneducated hope is that Xi Jinping will consolidate too much power, then die, and the previously distributed One Party system will instead have become a One Man system that collapses before someone else can become that One Man. Hopefully the existence of rebel Chinese cultures like Hong Kong and Taiwan can spur this.

My pie in the sky hope is that the PRC collapses utterly and the ROC begins to rule the entire mainland as well. One China indeed...

There are plenty of dissenting voices against Xi in the communist party, not just the leaders but also the rank-and-file members. If Xi dies, I'm pretty sure the One Man system reverts to the One Party system, unless there's another leader eager to concentrate power.

True but at least from an outsider and naive perspective his dissenters are more hardline than he is! What direction they’d take China in is unknown, I guess.
