Not sure that this is indeed the case or even what it would mean even if it were true. Socialism emerged in the wake of capitalism and when socialist regimes were established they did not endure for more than a few generations. Capitalism itself is in crisis across the West, but outside it is often becoming stronger.
IMHO we will see a diversity of systems across the world. Some countries will become socialist. Others will not. Much will depend on China, even more will depend on trends in population growth and resource scarcity. My guess is that many countries will develop hybrid models, blending some aspects of socialism with capitalism.
That's because Capitalist US uses Economic Sanctions against any Nation embarking on the Socialist Path like the US has always done since WWII, to prevent any successful outcome, Cuba being the most glaring evidence.
The Chinese hybrid Capitalist-Communist System designed for the Chinese, lifted over 800,000,000 Chinese Citizens out of dire poverty as poverty in the dying US Capitalist system increases among American Society
We simply cannot be certain how socialism would have fared in the absence of US hostility. There is no escaping history.
China is extremely complicated and I simply do not know enough to comment in detail beyond stating that you are right: it is a hybrid system. The greatest period of Chinese growth/development came after the US and Japanese began investing on a grand scale, outsourcing manufacturing and transferring technology while leaving industrial relations under the control of the CCP. China's great advantage now is that they have retained socialist models in the provision of education, health-care and (sometimes) housing thereby keeping costs low and maintaining Chinese competitiveness. The US, by contrast, has developed its own version of state-capitalism with the financial sector (the leading investment banks) acting as a disaggregated central planning network (as opposed to a classically Leninist single central planning agency).
From what I have heard Yugoslavia had a vastly milder form of communism than the USSR or the others. A friend born there compared some aspects of life there favourably to the West. Amongst other things, she said that the educations system was a lot better (more rigorous) and that standards of living for educated professionals in her home town were higher than in the West (more likely to own holiday homes etc).

I was born in Yugoslavia -- a FAR more humane and community-oriented society.
However, Serbian supremacy made Yugoslavia toxic for other nationalities... -- unfortunately

About strange nude man attack on Pelosi: Paul Pelosi was most likely attacked by a male prostitute
An unavoidable conclusion about Paul Pelosi
1. Assailant in his underpants
2. Paul Pelosi knows his name and tells police he’s a “friend.”
3. Assailant asks “where’s Nancy?” to make sure she’s not home.
4. Pelosi takes bathroom break from spat and makes 911 call
Conclusion: This guy was a sex partner or male prostitute!
