No one can predict the lifespan of communist rule.
Romania is a great example of that phenomena. 2 weeks before the revolution everything seemed to be perfectly stable and then they gave Ceaucescu a 2 hour long trial for crimes against the people, took him outside and shot him (and his wife as well for good measure.)
Communist regimes exist until the people get sick of it but there's no real way of predicting at what point they actually get sick of it.
Tianamen Square was the last time the Chinese got sick of their communist leaders and that ended in a massacre.
I don't know when they'll decide that enough is enough and go full 1789 but it's in the cards. I don't doubt that for a second.
