Im not going to elaborate to avoid a struggle session, but China is not a DotP. Its a state capitalist country where the working class is exploited and actively oppressed. Nationalization is not proof of socialism, eg Norway, Azerbaijan etc. And executing billionaires is not evidence of classwarfare. Class war is something the proletariat does independently, not something a bourgeois state does in favor of national goals. Even Hitler persecuted finance capital.
What use is it to just state China isn't a proletarian dictatorship like it's a fact? Marxism Leninism has been called state capitalism since time immemorial so these arguments have been played out thousands of times. Until someone demonstrates a better way of instituting a proletarian dictatorship these quibbles are pointless and ignore the material reality of how hard it is to change an entire mode of production.

The question here is not about implementation, its about the very class character of the state.
