four-plus
Absent such developments, China will be in for more political turmoil in the future than it has experienced in the last four-plus decades.
When searching the definition of 'four-plus', I found a word 'four plus'. It's a medical term which means '++++', an abnormal or extreme condition or situation( Actually, I didn't find any information about this word in English. And I just translated it by myself according to the Chinese definition in a web dictionary.). I think it makes sense.
But in the other hand, this phrase, I suggest, can be explained or paraphrased as 'more than forty years'.
What do you think about this phrase?
