This isnt accurate at all. Since they opened to the west they have become VERY susceptible to protests. They cannot afford to go back in time, specially with a westernizing youth.
"China's leaders face a troubling paradox: the more developed and prosperous the country becomes, the more insecure and threatened they feel... ever since the 1989 pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square and the fall of communism in the Soviet Union, Chinese leaders have been afraid of its own citizens, and this fear motivates many of their decisions when dealing with the U.S. and other nations. In particular, the fervent nationalism of the Chinese people, combined with their passionate resentment of Japan and attachment to Taiwan, have made relations with this country a minefield"
