If you learned anything about China's history, you'd know that the roots of Confucianism run deep. Chairman Mao tried to erase it from the people's psyche and never succeeded. One of the major tenets of Confucianism is that you remain loyal to the King/Country, no matter how tyranical. For instance, the Tinanmen massacre was caused by the protesters' desire for true democracy and the Communist Central Party's refusal. How is it a good example? Because it would have been a pivotal point for a widespread rebellion which obviously did not materialize. Even though the Government acted selfishly and murdered thousands of its own, mostly young, people, the rest of the country stood by. They were being obedient to the King/Country per Confucian sense of duty and loyalty.
In short, there's a slim and a no chance and slim just jumped out the window.

it happened in the soviet union, so why not in china.
with the yuan being massively printed hyper inflation could be round around the corner, the people WILL want economic freedom.

Zero, they will kill anyone and everyone that pushes this idea in their country.
peacefully in a timescale that come to pass in the next twenty years? Close to Zero.
Progressive loosening of economic policy to a freer market yes , but democracy don't make me laugh.
Hong Kong doesn't have democracy yet.

From what I've heard/read, the Chinese like it the way it is. There is no move mass movement to change anything...at the moment. They embrace capitalism, but are communist, it's weird.
There was a pretty serious chance of this happening back around the time of the Arab Spring revolutions. There was talk of a "Jasmine" revolution as I recall but China stamped it out hardcore before it could gain much momentum.
Now that the dust has settled, I don't think there is any significant likelihood of such an event gaining traction even if someone tried.

It's already kind of turning into Hong Kong. Just gradually lifting capital controls and opening the economy.
I don't think it's good to force the process just because you want another bitcoin bubble.

Should this happen the whole chinese mainland could turn into something like hong kong.
Capital controls would be lifted and bitcoin will be freely traded.
If this happens i think the price could go through the roof.
