Don't forget, China can do pretty much whatever it wants with it's people.
Until it can't. The Chinese people were willing to accept tyranny when it was accompanied by 10% annual prosperity increases. That was something like a social contract over there. I don't think they'll be as tolerant when the economic gains dry up.

Sitting right next door to china, I totally approve that chinese people don't have good sentiments for tyranny now.

I get it, but I'm not sure they have a ton more grace to work with. I could easily be wrong, of course. That's just the impression I've come to.
