They might have been too weak from hunger and exhausted by the cultural revolution to lynch Mao. Now they're comparatively well-fed and somewhat informed of what's going on outside China.
I'd like to see revolutions in Communist or Socialist countries, but uh, they just don't happen...
It pains me to no end to say it, but the historical record is clear: Socialist countries only end due to: implosion, reformation, or invasion. I've almost never heard of socialist countries that had successful revolutions. The closest one was Romania, and it was because all power had consolidated into Ceaușescu personally. The people who actually committed the massacre that set off the revolution, actually stayed in power and declared themselves not communists.
Hell, there's a sad moment where Kruschev absolutely shocks the Communist world by screaming about how Stalin basically destroyed the country and inspired a reign of terror, and instead of there being any sort of tearing apart of the Soviet order, everybody just went home. There's never been a revolution in Cuba, or North Korea, or China no matter what horrors were visited on them.
You just don't really see revolutions taking place, even if people start starving to death.
Xi will get lynched and his bloated, oily body will burn for 3 days and 3 nights outside the palace.
If they didn't do it to Mao, they won't do it to Xi.

I like to look on the bright side.

This is what Xi is also doing in China. And hurting the economy to do it.
