That's what your brain tells you. Is it reality?

A better explanation: China is much more unstable than Russia, and revolution is a much more dangerous and consequential threat.

That's an interesting take on it. I wonder if you're right. (And I'm torn as to whether to hope that you're right, or to fear that you are.)

China’s major political shifts until the liberalizations have resulted in bloodshed costing the lives of millions, if not tens of millions of deaths. (E.g. Deposing the Qing, Warlord Era, KMT vs CCP, Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution).

The major issue is that the mythos of the Chinese state has always required a unified China, and unifying such a large, heavily populated country is difficult.
