I feel like I don't hear much internal critique about China from the ML side of things - is this more of a 'critical support' posture or are people just generally more optimistic about long-term socialization of their market?

edit: if there are more reading materials that discuss this topic in-depth, I am very interested in recommendations

This is from 2021, but probably covers what you are asking about: https://redsails.org/china-has-billionaires/

Basically, socialism with Chinese characteristics is an effort to synthesize a better methodology that avoids known pitfalls of other attempts and is very specific to the material conditions that exist.

From Deng to Xi, let them cook.

Deng's biggest L was the stuff with Cambodia - not much "good" from that and obviously while it's fallout from the Sino-Soviet split, friendship with Vietnam would have been superior (just thinkin bout that Season 5 of Blowback). Domestically though, I basically fully agree here - let them cook, it can't be worse than Amerikkka

I agree, though I wonder if at the time there was concern that failing to align with US client states would jeopardize foreign investment.
