lol there's not going to be civil war, an economic collapse maybe. modern Chinese youths are like western counterparts, physically weak and politically uninspired, their form of resistance is called "lie down", basically being passive aggressive non productive members of the society living off their parents' pensions or doing bare minimum part time jobs that pay for their basic survival needs and gacha games. nobody's going to pick up the pitch forks and storm their local landlords. the passion for revolution backed by foreign military supplies just aren't there.
You say there won't be a civil war then you describe a mythical "revolution of the people" which isn't what was suggested. The civil war would be elites vs. other elites, using disaffected youth as pawns wherever possible. The major moves would be fractures in the bureaucracy, and attempts to control breakaway PLA groups.

And the disaffected youths won't be part of the violent conflicts, they have similar attitude to "let the zogs fight, just leave my waifus alone"
Tell that to the Ukrainian and Russian.
I think that Xi has been fairly effective in purging the disloyal from the ranks of the Chinese government and CCP.
Which is interesting because people in the West say the same thing, hell I've read suggestions of doing such right here on this board.
