Do you know how difficult that would be? The Chinese are among the most conformist people on earth. Their government not only has absolute power, but the vast majority of the population are of the same ethnic group as those who lead their government, and generally agree with what their government does and see an attack on it as an attack on them. You'd be far more likely to succeed with Russia than China. Most Chinese would back their government to the bitter end. You might be able to force out a particular leader at best, only to be replaced by someone with more or less the same mindset.

More unlikely things have happened before - the collapse of the Soviet Union, for instance. I don't think regime change is a likely outcome for China, but it is most probably the ultimate hope and goal of the US.
