I've actually written about this before¹. Twice². The Chinese have five thousand years of recorded experience with despots. That means the despots have five thousand years of experience in knowing how to do despotism right, but it also means the people have five thousand years of knowing how to deal with despots.

(Protip: Sometimes dealing with them gets REALLY fucking bloody!)
