No, I meant that the people in charge (more aptly, the person in charge) would be far more likely to take drastic action if and when it becomes evident to the Chinese people that they've been sold a false bill of goods and they start getting restless in large numbers.
From my experience living in the region, the average Chinese person who is not a member of the CCP doesn't really care about Taiwan or avenging the century of humiliation, let alone Chinese world dominance. They just want wealth and the better quality of life that comes with it, with the quality of life enjoyed by high-income countries like the US and those in Western Europe as a reference point.
Right now, China looks like it could instead easily get stuck in the middle income trap, which would be a big big problem for the CCP internally.

Almost certainly not nearly as much as it wants people (including its own) to believe.
> Some tried to mock Chinese ghost cities, but most of them become quite vibrant after a while.
You're kidding, right? Unless you are using a non-dictionary definition of the word "vibrant".

Oh dear.
