Your EE topic does sound quite interesting. I have no experience doing EE so I can't really tell you how hard it is or whether the topic will work in 4000 words 
But I think that maybe you should choose a geographical area of China to focus on. Or, you could choose to focus on a specific time period, or specifically on economic/social effects. Also, my assumption is that in a History EE you would be looking for some solid historiography to back up your argument - I've heard students in my school say that finding sources for Chinese history can be quite tough compared to European history. I know that there's a lot of "scar literature" that would make for good sources on the rustication. I think that you should choose to focus on either the political side of the rustication (so looking at the effect of policy specifically) or the socio-economic impacts (effect on the youth, effect on the economies of cities).
Out of interest, do you do history as a subject? Have you studied Chinese history specifically? I think doing an EE on a subject you are doing would definitely help. Nevertheless, if you're a month away you should probably just stick with your topic.
Good luck with your EE!
