I think we will see something more akin to how the Soviet Union fell, a piece at a time. When you educate a population, give them access to traveling the world and introduce them to capitalism, communism can't survive.
I think your fears are unfounded and a bit hysterical. The Communist Party of China will self destruct, but it will be a decades long process.
What you suggest is exactly what the Party insiders would like the world to believe.

Actually, as one poster said above, China isn't quite as "communist" as you think, despite the ruling party being called "The Communist Party of China"...
The Chinese people have seen the transition from folk medicine, to Western medicine increase their lifespans by decades and their standard of living keep getting better and better
