    provide for their families

    Not a problem in a socialist country, the CPC is not stupid, they will make sure adequate social protections are in place for the people who represent the sickle in the hammer and sickle symbol.

    Bernie, the man you support, would agree with this decision, to fight hunger and ensure food security for the citizenry.

        Their mode of production is called a “socialist market economy”. The leadership uses socialist theory to guide their decisions on running the country. Why would this not be socialism?

          Oh well if they say their production is socialist guided then they’re tooootally socialist! Just ignore the privately owned factories paying people $2 a day and the fact billionaires still exist.

            Socialism is a mode of production that is in part defined by class war between the elites and the people, with the state being on the side of the people (as shown by their desire to bolster food security). In our current globalized world, China is not in a position to bring about full communism, liquidating all the elite, without incurring apocalyptic economic punishment from Western capitalists.

            China is a country with flaws, but a country doesn’t need to have achieved a fully functional planned economy to be called socialist, as the label is contingent on the ideology that the state employs in the governance of their country.

            The factories aren’t privately owned, they’re owned by the country and rented by private companies. Stop talking. You don’t know shit. Start reading and educating yourself instead of spreading US state department propaganda.

              So, what you’re saying is they’re not owned collectively by the workers? Tell me again why independent unions are illegal in China.

                This is grasping at straws to find justifications for hating china as much as the state dept. tells you to while telling yourself you’re a leftist. I’ll report you to Bernie for this.
