Asking this because i’m a newbie in the topic of socialism and i want to understand whether China is actually considerable socialist or not. A lot of the stuff we see are Chinese brands, owned by privates (at least i think so, correct me if i’m wrong), making tons of capital. So what’s actually going on?

LOL, I love that you went all on with the confidence of an ignoramus and then at the last second just openly stated you have no idea what you're talking about.

Do you have zero self awareness? Are you incapable of seeing that if you have no idea about socialism then you literally have no idea how to evaluate and analyze China's systems?

For example, did you know that China has no freeholds on land, only leaseholds? Did you know that the state executes executives of companies that harm the public for profit? Did you know that in order to be a politician you have to pass rigorous tests that cover topics such as Marxist theory and the Xi himself had to take the test multiple times because it is meaningfully difficult and he had to actually work for it and wrestle with the complexities of Marxism in order to even get into the party?
