Sure buddy, you as a westerner know more about Chinese socialism than the literal ideological heirs of the Chinese revolution whom are still in government. Xi Jinping's dad was a hardcore commie leader all his life, and Xi himself has a PhD in Marxism. Getting high up the Communist Party of China is one of the higher-functioning meritocracies, requires extremely high educational standards in the history of socialism, and a high degree of involvement and being a good example of party activity and hard work. But you, from your western sofa, know more than the Chinese who literally became the strongest country in the world and uplifted 800 million people from poverty (you keep not answering to why India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Philippines and Indonesia didn't achieve this feat).

Fine, keep ignoring obvious facts and lie to yourself that China isn't full on capitalist these days. The cognitive dissonance must be painful ๐Ÿคฆ

Keep being a western chauvinist who thinks knows more about socialism than the literal best of the nations which implemented it
