This has become incredibly off topic and political. It's also the quickest way to get this list blocked in China. Now who would that serve?

As for comment about people getting the government they deserve, that is true of countries with free and fair elections, but not so much in others. Did Ugandans deserve Idi Admin's reign of cannibalism and terror? I could list others if you like.

The reasons why China has the government it does are complex, dating back to WWII, and are beyond the control of the OP. On that note, he is asking for help. If you (all of you) have nothing to offer in that regard, suggesting that he overthrow the government is really pointless.
