Can they really dare?
Yup. Their biggest threat Trump just drowned in his own puke - Xi is the real king now. I suspect poor Jack Ma is behind bars and will approve a split of the empire before his release. You need to understand the tight state grip on the economy is non-negotiable and the people get it. So long as the Chinese economically gallop ahead noone will revolt.
I expect Alibaba to at least be split up. E-commerce, Alipay, Ant Financial, etc. No big scary giant.
