I bet he didn't foresee his totalitarian communist dream society having to revert to capitalism, to keep his top down totalitarian rule alive and the country's masses not starving to death by the millions or billions, becoming just a lying outward shell, to communism, only retaining the top down, cynically oppressive rule of cruelty, secrecy, and political prison camps crammed with those that wanted more freedom or having the gall to speak the truth about the country's leadership policies from within, 75 years after coming to power to create his workers paradise.However, the greatest and most tragic consistency is a western one.

The West’s wishful thinking automatically assumed that free trade would inevitably lead to a free society. Democracy always seemed to be around the corner. People looked with a blind eye toward massive human rights violations and the brutal suppression of protests like those at Tiananmen Square in 1989.
Businessmen patiently and consistently waited for the one billion consumers that would soon be buying western goods. Western nations lost jobs to China instead.
Chairman Xi Jinping is now clamping down on dissent in China, building up its military and turning upon the West in alliance with Russia, Iran, and others. The West will soon pay the price for its illusions. Western trade policies have created a monstrous dragon, equipped to attack the nations that now depend on China’s subsidized export goods.
Dikötter’s final analysis, however, does point out some major problems with the Chinese model. Throughout these four decades, China has struggled to survive amid corruption, bad economics, and faulty structures. Intrigue, brutal suppression of opposition and Western largess miraculously carried the nation to this point.
However, all is not lost for the West should it stand up to this defective bully. The author notes that China must face “an entire range of longstanding structural issues of its own making” that could reach crisis proportions in the near future. It is time to break the consistent policy of surrender and confront the problem frontally.

They are not being led. They are practicing, but under Communistlike rule. It doesn't make them a bit better, but simply lying to themself, as well as the world.China is in no way being led by capitalism, nor has it turned its back on Marxism and Leninism. One of Xi Jinping's Characteristic for a New Era states that he wants China "Practise socialist core values", including Marxism-Leninism, Communism and "socialism with Chinese characteristics".
"The CCP does not believe that it has abandoned Marxism.[59] The party views the world as organized into two opposing camps; socialist and capitalist.[59] They insist that socialism, on the basis of historical materialism, will eventually triumph over capitalism.[59] In recent years, when the party has been asked to explain the capitalist globalization occurring, the party has returned to the writings of Karl Marx.[59] Marx wrote that capitalists, in their search for profit, would travel the world in a bid to establish new international markets – hence, it is generally assumed that Marx forecasted globalization.[59] His writings on the subject are used to justify the CCP's market reforms, since nations, according to Marx, have little choice in the matter of joining or not.[59] Opting not to take part in capitalist globalization means losing out in the fields of economic development, technological development, foreign investment and world trade.[59] This view is strengthened by the economic failures of the Soviet Union and of China under Mao.[60]
Despite admitting that globalization developed through the capitalist system, the party's leaders and theorists argue that globalization is not intrinsically capitalist,[60] the reason being that, if globalization were purely capitalist, it would exclude an alternate socialist form of modernity.[60] Globalization, as with the market economy, therefore does not have one specific class character (either socialist or capitalist) according to the party.[60] The instance that globalization is not fixed in nature, comes from Deng's insistence that China can pursue socialist modernization by incorporating elements of capitalism.[60] Because of this there is considerable optimism within the CCP that despite the current capitalist dominance of globalization, globalization can be turned into a vehicle supporting socialism.[61] This event will occur through capitalism's own contradictions.[61] These contradictions are, according to party theorist Yue Yi from the Academy of Social Sciences, "that between private ownership of the means of production and socialised production. This contradiction has manifested itself globally as the following contradictions; the contradiction between planned and regulated national economies and the unplanned and unregulated world economy; the contradiction between well-organized and scientifically managed Transnational Corporations (TNCs) and a blindly expanding and chaotic world market; the contradiction between the unlimited increase of productive capacity and the limited world market; and the contradiction between sovereign states and TNCs."[62] It was these contradictions, argues Yue Yi, that led to the dot-com bubble of the 1990s, that has caused unbalanced development and polarization, and widened the gap between rich and poor.[63] These contradictions will lead to the inevitable demise of capitalism and the resultant dominance of socialism.[63]"
