The critical mismatch is the one within China, the emerging urban popuation and the poor and getting poorer rural one. Much of the rural poor is male (due to female infanticide and abortion), and is unlikely to get jobs, land or wives. Some of that can be used by the local popwer structures, but I'm afraid that much of the country is a potential time-bomb. The two nations with the most to be frightened of should be taiwan and Russia. Taiwan since it is the best country for the PRCs leaders to use as an enemy if they need an Argentine-style patriotic war (and see where those usually end up), and Russia as China is already occupying vaste part of Russia's empty east, and Chinese labourers are already showing up at farms around the heartland (Saratov oblast).
and you wanted it to exist, eh? No, the flag resembles that of Tomskaya oblast' and partly the project flag of Siberian Federal District. There's no such a movement - though i guess lots of people here would like a bit more rights they have now. Moreover, i personally feel that Siberia is still treated as the source for natural resources to please the needs of European part of Russia. And that's not fair, isn't it?
