    First of all, China's first revolution was won by the Nationalist party in 1911, the Communist party took power only in 1949. And to answer your question, Pu Yi was weak and not aware of politics, had he been a true leader, China could have evolved into a modern monarchy with a semi-autonomous government but that's history now.

    China would likely not have "fallen into the hands of the Communists" if the Qing Dynasty had done more to develop modern infrastructures when the Western world was already becoming industrialized.

    Note: One could argue that the "Last Emperor of China" was Yuan Shikai.
