i dont think so. Chinese citizens seems unable to fight back against the military. they have no access to guns, or mass riots will break CCP's will

just look at north korea and cuba if you want to get a sense for how long these regimes last. USSR was an exception.

The Equifax breach also didn't cause riots in the US. I don't see how that's different here.

why?

I am guessing he means that it highlights the incompetence or even just the consequences of centralizing power.

Personally I don't expect this to bear true. Historically in China, government failures have been cited as evidence for further centralizing the power of the federal government. And this argument is bought hook-line-and-sinker by the people. I don't think that will change until there is serious economic hardship.
