China is not socialist mate, it's technically a market economy with "chinese characteristics" and is run by one massive coalition. there's private property ownership in China, there is stock exchange for example.

Its funny how you just wiped off "socialist" from the term used to describe mainland – market socialist economy with Chinese characteristics. Screaming about the miniscule existence of private property or stock exchange is a delusional and dishonest way to portray China as not being socialist. Their socialism comes from prosperity of over a billion people on their land, and prosperity of rest of the world via cheap manufactured goods that increase purchasing power of literally every person on earth that is not a rich capitalist pig.

You can scratch your neckbeard all you want, it’s very much a market economy. Whether there’s the term socialist or not

Too bad its not about being a neckbeard, its about not being delusional and not spreading delusion to cope with some ADV China tier bullshit.

I stand by my opinion. My ancestors did not escape communist rule from China just for me to be splained by some westerners about politics of China.

China is very much a market economy, it is not any different compared to Vietnam. I currently live in another parliamentary democracy in Asia, I would say to an extent the level of market interference is way higher in mine compared to China.

You can say all you want about CCP and Xi’s regime, and China and market their economic system all the way, to me it will always be a market economy with the level of interference no different from other NIC’s around the globe

Save the BS and don’t be a smartarse
