I would like to believe this but all I have been seeing out of China (the general population) for the last several years is growing support for the Party and a hostile and arrogant attitude toward the rest of the world.
The Chinese Communist Party has delivered for the Chinese people, in large part because they were so far down to start with.
As a consequence, they have considerable support.
It is unclear how deep this support will be *if* they experience an economic downturn.
The Party bases much of its popularity on increasing economic growth and stability...
