My hope is that China will start moving away from consumerism entirely. There's no need to build an economy on vapid consumption in the first place. As the machines produce more and more of the things people need autonomously, that frees people up to do whatever they want with their lives instead of slaving away to meet their needs. China could start reducing work hours, and build things like sports halls, craft shops, art studios, workshops, where people can just creative and social with one another. Instead of going to the mall to buy stuff, you go do some activity that you enjoy with friends.
