Mao had seldom few close encounters with death for a Communist dictator. There was only one assassination attempt on him in 1971 and his health was never a life threatening issue until about the time he died. Am I missing something? Was there a serious attempt on his life after 1949? Did he, like our good friend Stalin, have any threatening heart attacks? How can Mao plausibly be killed post 1949 without something radically different from OTL happening?
