I wonder if that's true. The people are used to high growth and a steadily increasing standard of living. If the CCP decides to go back to Mao's playbook they'll likely have a revolution on their hands.
- vinceguidry 11y agoThe CCP is absolutely massive in terms of what percentage of its people are party office-holders. They have unprecedented levels of control over all aspects of Chinese life. Revolutions grow out of revolts. Revolts grow out of riots. CCP is remarkably adept at managing riots. For riots to grow, you need revolutionaries to amass power. CCP is remarkably adept at policing this kind of action too. The CCP isn't going away anytime soon. Xi Jinping has way more to fear from intra-party power struggles than from grassroots activism.
