The separation of the Chinese racial identity with that of its government - most Chinese perceive the government as representative of their ethnicity, and despite whatever flaws must be protected against malicious foreign interests.

So basically, the more posturing the West does, the more aggressively the Chinese will side with their government. Suffice to say, current foreign policy exacerbates this.

No outside force can possibly get the Chinese to revolt - in fact any outside force is likely to do the exact opposite, and help cement the Communist regime's power. Most new-generation Chinese are happy to give up freedoms they've never known how to enjoy, in exchange for the chance to escape poverty and live a better life.

So, the only way to get the Chinese people to revolt against their government is for the economy to stagnate, and for people to no longer perceive a worthy "trade" of their freedoms for economic progress. As soon as the people lose hope of a better life, support for the regime will crumble quickly.

Speaking as a Chinese, anyhow.
