I am not so sure about that. There are a couple of things that I want to note here. The people in China say what the CCP wants them to say. It is not a free state, so there is no way of knowing how content they are with the status quo. Besides, you're talking about improvement to their lives, but even there we don't know. CCP for example claims that there is no poverty in China, how? They lowered the poverty level to 4 dollars a week. There is huge corruption there, public humiliations, punishments for things that go against party lines like watching porn, bad food hygiene, big child kidnapping numbers, violence against foreigners, horrible working conditions, bad healthcare and reliance on bogus Chinese medicine. The list goes on and on of the problems in that country. And if you ask me what a good example is, I'd say go look at Taiwan. Another Chinese country (in practice) that doesn't have those issues.
No, I definitely think that there is no other way but to sanction that country in order to topple that party. Same goes with Russia with Putin. I think appeasing them will not change anything, better yet I think it will only get worse.

Except that doesn't work either. If "sanctioning" a country was able to topple parties then North Korea wouldn't be an issue.
Not to mention that there are a whole slew of countries that wouldn't agree to any sanctions against China because it would hurt them just as much as it would hurt China.
Besides, a lot of those "problems" you listed are also present in western countries...

North Korea only survives because first the Soviet Union kept it alive and now China keeps it alive. China allows NK workers to work in China, and in turn they do business in NK. It is not isolated as you think it is.
On the other points: That is why you should never put all your production (eggs) into one country (basket).
Excuse but where else do you have a social credit system but China? Specifically western countries? What western country is a totalitarian single party ultranationalist pseudo communist state?
