No one is claiming China achieved communism, we just believe its policies reflect an attempt at building it. It's also silly to slander a socialist state as "authoritarian" if you have read the bare minimum of Engels. If you're earnest on supporting communism I encourage you to look into the compatible left and seek non western perspectives more broadly.
