This analysis seems to have an oddly static view of the future, as if the values of the current day CCP will be locked-in forever. But the worldview of chinese leadership has changed massively, multiple times over the last century.
It’s easily seen in history that the economic organisation of a company can have huge effects on it’s culture and how it’s governed: Would not the advent of powerful AI do the same? For example, perhaps the chinese would have more time to discuss moral philosophy if AI allowed them to not have to work as hard.
Possibly, though I expect ASI could also be used to lock in one’s values such that there will be more stasis unless the people in pwoer deliberately embrace dynamism and liberalism of values.
