Uh...you probably don’t know that Chineses have a nickname for the Russian ethnic group: the race of true fighters(战斗种族). On the other hand, Han Chinese is especially bad at rebellion, being conquered multiple times from the north in the history

If we looked at the past though, the Han Chinese did rebel many times, both agains conquering (e.g. the Yuan and Qing) and native dynasties and these rebellions were often successful.

When you think about it, even the current CCP regime started as a rebel army.

Right I should add that those rebellions would happen when the economy is extremely bad and the living condition is intolerable.
