China growth rate during recovery was actually depressed compared to several developing nations. So even the basic premise doesn’t fit the actual data.
Long term compare the People's Republic of China (China) and the Republic of China (Taiwan) after the war based on per capita GDP and the mainland is still catching up. The CPP maintained power after completely wrecking the countries economy, so a period of stagnation seems unlikely to be a major issue. More recently you can see how the CPP is placing Hong Kong’s economy as a lower priority than increased control.
While dictatorships like China can fall surprisingly quickly, I doubt slower growth is that critical of an issue.
