Hu Jintao will fall in insurgence soon?

The fact that there have been scattered terrorist incidents in the Xinjiang Province and that a soldier's gun was stolen does not constitute the kind of situation that would lead to the fall of the current Chinese government. Given China's history, massive, as opposed to localized, social unrest would provide an example of an existential threat to China's government. The recent increase in economic discontent may have peaked or be near the peak, as early data indicates that China's economic stimulus program may be starting to arrest the downturn in China's economy. All said, it is highly unlikely that President Hu Jintao will be toppled, much less in the near-term. Much more likely, he will serve out his term.

True, Hu is not likely to be driven from power any time soon.

However, given China's history, any increase in anti-government violence does not augur well for the future stability of the Chinese government. After Tienanmen Square, the government more or less committed itself to a path of authoritarian rule; they are ill-positioned to deal with a restive, combative, and dissatisfied population.

Ok, now this is irony....a socialist/marxist web site discussing the possibility of revolt in a presumably "socialist" country.
