Incredible as it must seem to people who were alive to see it, it appears the CPC's position has been historically vindicated. The USSR stood rigid and was snapped apart -- The PRC bent, and so remains, changed but intact.

I don't think that's accurate: the USSR undermined itself by directly attacking and denouncing its past while pushing through ill conceived liberalization schemes that seemed to have been cooked up on the assumption that markets are a magical and efficient system that would simply magic up wealth with magical capitalist efficiency while getting absolutely no material concessions for this from the west, while the PRC traded market reforms for actual material capital and access to resources and the CPC itself didn't devolve into a frenzy of denouncing anyone who wasn't a sufficiently fervent liberal of being a maoist doing a hecking oppression the way Gorbachev's bloc would accuse people of "stalinist oppression" for not only opposing them but also just not being enthusiastic enough while otherwise actively supporting them.
