Appeasement didn't stop Hitler

Prior to World War II, Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany declared that Austrians and Germans were of the same race and spoke the same language, and the inclusion of Austria in the Third Reich was therefore a holy mission. In an attempt to oppose Germany's blatant ambition to invade Austria, a referendum was planned for March 1938 to let Austrians decide their own future through peaceful and democratic means. On the eve of the referendum, Germany invaded and then annexed Austria.

Shortly thereafter, Hitler declared that the people in the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia were descendants of the German people and that the region should be returned to Germany. Because Great Britain and France feared a military conflict with Germany, then-British prime minister Neville Chamberlain and French prime minister Edouard Daladier signed a treaty with Hitler in September 1938, agreeing to the German annexation of the Sudetenland. Czechoslovakia, which was not invited to the treaty meeting, was forced to accept the deal by London and Paris, who said they would not intervene should the issue lead to war between Germany and Czechoslovakia.

On his return from Munich, Chamberlain said he had engineered an exchange that would give Europe a generation of peace. Hitler, however, promptly occupied all of Czechoslovakia. In 1939, he used the excuse that Gdansk was German territory to invade Poland. Two days later the UK and France declared war on Germany and World War II began in Europe.

Can't they just procrastinate until China gets to be indistinguishably capitalist and at least passibly democratic?

(which would probably be a relative improvement in day-to-day conditions for them compared to the Old School Totalitarianism they have now)

which only means they get some mock elections in which THE PARTY is going to win anyway and THE LEADER, Noble and Wise, wil still be from the same bunch.

This NO MATTER WHAT the Chinese Citizens do.

You know, like Amerika.

Although maybe the sham democracy of the BushPutinist State is something you'd call "passably democratic".

I wouldn't.
