> You assume stopping "revolution" is the goal. It is not. All you have to do is look at what outcomes "revolutions" in an info saturated/low attention span/consumption culture based society have produced in the last 20 years.

And from that follows that the Chinese leadership wouldn't mind a revolution (that they didn't concoct themselves to tighten their grip, that is)? That doesn't follow at all.

> China is overvaluing control

You're overestimating your own attention span. Either they "value control" (what a disgusting euphemism) or they wouldn't mind a revolution.
