I wouldn't worry, marxist-leninist revolution would not cut their ties with China, and people who would (ultras) will never make any revolution except maybe gastric one. Real danger is only in the usual colour coup.

Yeah, the worry is not so much of the revolution itself disavowing relations with China, but China getting in a strange geopolitical spot between their previously recognised government, the new government, and also Juan Guaido, specially if it comes to a split country situation.

I'm not aware of them taking a strong stance on foreign matters like these over the past 30 years or so, but imagine if India randomly has a revolution and gets split in half. It'd be a bit of a catch 22 for them, but I doubt their foreign policy specialists haven't already thought about this.
