They are not socialist or communist period. They have some socialist policies but they are ruled by an oligarchy and are more fascist than the US.

Also, bad when US corners market on China but good when China does similar. Pure garbage.

    China is verifiably a socialist country in Marxist-Leninist sense. Unless you also want to claim that USSR under NEP was not a socialist country in a Marxist-Leninist sense in which case cool, you know Marxism-Leninism better than Lenin, congrats.

    If you want to critique China there are hundreds of ways to do so, from human rights to urbanism to policing issues, but the economic equality or non-adherance to socialist principles is far down the list.

    Also, bad when US corners market on China but good when China does similar. Pure garbage.

    US "corners" the market by bombing countries and/or forcing them into forever austerity traps via IMF's policies.

    China "corners" the market by subsidizing national industry and development.

    Neither is particularly great but the two are not identical.

    Cool, you deny they are a fascist oligarchy. Good job with the bullshit propaganda.

    I did critique China just now. You offered nothing to counter except lousy rhetoric. Have a good day sir.

    (clearly) unlike you, I've been to China and spoke to people there and read academic research on the subject.

    China is not fascist, in fact it is quite close to the opposite (do you even know what characterizes fascism?).

    China is not an oligarchy but a one-party bureaucracy (same as mid-to-late USSR). Not great either but the power is not concentrated in the hands of the few in the same sense as it is in the US, party factions and members have significant power&leverage all the way from local to national level.

    Clearly you regurgitate propaganda well. Next you are going to tell me that the US is a representative democracy.

    China is so clearly fascist it isn't fucking funny. Being in denial is pretty funny though, thanks for that. I appreciate you naivety.

    China is not an oligarchy? Why do they have a concentrated wealthy ruling class!? Please, grow up.
