Considering that China has a lot of internal unrest and external conflict going on right now, I believe these questions may be quite pertinent.
How many Han Chinese people living within China genuinely support their government? - And has that number increased or decreased in response to the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic?

"China has a lot of internal unrest "
they have the muslim situation in their uighur provinces but that's it. other than that chinas internal situation is calm and united.
overall a massive majority of chinks are towing the party line, like they do in all totalitarian dictatorships, because the ones who didn't were dealt with quickly and violently by the ccp.

Whatever the number you can gaurantee it goes back to 0 after they speak out.
Chinese get really triggered when you talk shit about their country
I was more thinking about how China is currently shitting itself during the coronavirus panic.
Ask them.
Any group of people will defect if they think it benefits them. Open up any passage in a history book; it won't be long before you read something about an invasion by some superior force, followed by most of the natives betraying their existing status quo if a mutually-beneficial offer is made.
The Chinese who actually live in China, as a whole, won't rebel against their government. The CCP (like most of Chinese culture) may be incredibly half-assed when it comes to their day-to-day protocols and operations, but they're still in a better position to execute anything when necessary than any other group in the region. The problems arise when Chinese citizens aren't in China, and thus have the opportunity to see the rest of the world (and China) without a filter applied.
They only gained widespread notoriety this year, but there's a large number of Chinese citizens who stand on street corners in New York City protesting their country. They all have a lot to say about how bad things in China are, and will gladly explain how harrowing it was to realize these things once they left their country. Much of Chinese culture (and a lot of sino culture) is based on appearances; if you wipe away that veneer and allow the Chinese people to see the actual problems in their country (and offer a more appealing alternative), a considerable amount of the CCP's power over the common populace would evaporate.
Mind you, much of that is true for the United States as well. But unlike in China I don't see the U.S. population blindly following their government. Most citizens are aware that their government (chiefly the CIA) doesn't play fair and they're willing to hear arguments supporting that (and the U.S. government, for the most part, will allow that discussion to take place.)

Han people "love" China, of course!
I heard Tibetans, Hui, Uighur, etc hate it. There's quite a few minorities in China, 100 million plus iirc, so I don't think the approval percentage is that high.

Chinese culture has a weird way of looking at the world, it's hard to get a feel for how they feel about their goverment since a autocratic morally dubious, highly centralized bureaucracy is historical norm. Combined with the way they (like the US) don't percieve other nations as peers, Asking how Chinese feel about their countries fun habbits is like asking the Average Conservative about how they feel about the fact that someone has to to clean the toilet for fuck all money.

The Chinese government recognizes 56 ethnic groups, but 91.6% of their population are Han Chinese.
We're probably never gonna have an extremely accurate statistic to answer OP's question. If you ask China, they're gonna put out data that says basically all Chinese citizens support the government. If you ask China's geopolitical foes, they're gonna put out data saying the opposite.
The best bet for accurate data is from NGOs, but even that's probably not gonna be that reliable because so many of them are tied to government intelligence agencies, politicians, etc.
The Pew Research Center says in 2014, 92% of Chinese people had "confidence" in Xi Jinping. It's possible that's changed, and of course confidence in their leader doesn't necessarily mean confidence in their government.

The Pew Research Center is generally reliable. I could buy that 92% of their population supports the government, especially when 91.6% of their population are Han. It would probably be marginally less if the question was phrased more generically.
