I have read numerous accounts of Westerners who have worked in China. Chinese people are drones and will never rise up against the chicoms Years of indoctrination.
Attitude may change in the future.
China has had an authoritarian form of government for more that 2000 years. Occasionally, the peasants revolt, say once a century or more. But, it always reverts back to the same Confucian form - allegiance to the state first and to the family second.
