Investing in productive forces and quality of life for all makes for robustly strong economic indicators and basically no inflation problem. Cutting rentierism and in large part private profits out of the economy greatly helps these figures as well, and cuts off inflation at its source.

Quality of life for the capitalist eastern seaboard. I believe that's what you meant to say.

There are some links in the study guide I linked in my other reply which go into the incredible improvements in material conditions for all Chinese peoples.

Improvement in material conditions is when 60% of rural Chinese do not attempt high school, and 7% attend college, and their hukou caste system traps them in their birth villages forever?
