Discussion about socialist market economy. Does socialism have commodity production? Is China a capitalist country because it has commodity production?
No. China is not a "capitalist" country by Marxist standards.
That's my take as someone who has never been to China.
I think the people who want to argue that China is capitalist are sus. If China went along with western capitalism then they wouldn't accomplish so much and it would be a great shame.
What has the CPC been doing this whole time?
Xi Xinping is a multi-millionaire, if not billionaire
Sends guns to Capitalist governments in India, Nepal, and the Philippines to kill Communist revolutionaires
Consitution enshires private ownership of the means of production into law, in a similar way to how the USA consitution does
Has the largest amont of billionaires, more than any other country, even the USA
Creates dept-traps and economic colonies in Africa
Forces workers to work until 9PM, with little democratic say in the work-place, said work-place being owned by a millionaire or Western megacorporation
The stars on its flag represent class collaboration with the bourgeoisie and landlords
