        Are you asking for proof of Occupied China being a planned economy or that the party controls it?

          The comment I replied to says:

          Working class rebel vs Elite class looking for more control

          Notice the part highlighted in bold. I am asking for proof of this. In other words, proof that the Chinese government executed CEOs only because they sought “more control”. Surely we are not expected to blindly trust this claim, right?

            Why not? They did when the CIA told it [to the journalists that repeated it] to them.

          So which non-Marxist political economy or sociology defines this elite class? Usually class politics is attributed to Marx
