Some resources for a lot of the people below claiming that China is just like any other capitalist country.
Is China State Capitalist?
- The backbone of the economy is state ownership and socialist planning. 24 / 25 of the top revenue companies are state-owned and planned. 70% of the top 500 companies are State-owned. 1, 2 The largest bank, construction, electricity, and energy companies in the world, are CPC controlled entities, subject to the 5 year plans laid out by the central committee.

- Is modern day china communist? Is it staying true to communist values?

- 50% of the economy is in the socialist public sector and directly follows the plan (40% if you ignore the agricultural sector). 20 to 30% is inside the state capitalist sector, which is the sector partially or totally owned by domestic capitalists but run by the CPC or by local workers councils. The rest is made up of the small bourgeois ownership like in the NEP.
- China pushing forward Marxist training in colleges, attracts 1M students.
- China tells the US that it has no plans to weaken the role of its State-Owned-Enterprises, one of the US's main demands in the trade war. "Beijing plans to make the state economy stronger, bigger, and better."
- Unlike the US, China refuses to bail out over-leveraged property developers, and lets them go bankrupt.

I actually agree that the PRC is still presocialist but at least I didn't spit out your useless 'lol fuk u' reply.
Presocialist as in the economy isn't yet at public ownership and planning levels to be considered fully Socialist, or preparing to transition to Communism? I know you've read a lot more than I have so I'm curious what you mean here. I'm still a "baby ML."
As far as I know, capital, the law of value, and generalized commodity production remain phenomenal in the PRC. Their prevalence does seem to be diminishing, though, which is one reason why I think that equating the PRC with something like Imperial America is wrong.
I agree largely, I suppose I just use the term "Socialist" because I believe the Public Sector to be primary and the trends to be towards collectivization. The "stages" of Socialism model common among Chinese Marxists at work.
