What
They're still following SWCC which is Maoist, the New Democracy stuff that the CPC has been doing for the past half century is a Maoist program.
China isn't Maoist anymore, every leader since Mao has continued to adapt CPC's ideology to the current times, starting with Dengism, then Three Represents (Jiang Zemin), then Scientific Outlook on Development (Hu Jintao), and finally Xi Jinping Thought. The CPC sees them as continuations of Mao Zedong Thought but some people instead see them as revisionist.
Maoists fundamentally uphold the GPCR and the CPC doesn't.
The CPC upholds ML-Mao ZeDong thought, which does incorporate some of Mao's ideas but does not incorporate the GPCR.
