If China really is a socialist country or one pushing towards communism, why do you think they are waiting to push more directly in that direction? What is to be strategically gained from capitalizing your economy, essentially going backwards for 50 years instead of continuing to push for communism?

    Nothing. The more China 'waits' to push the communism button, the more capitalists entrench themselves within society and infect the country. You honestly think that after the previous 3 decades of economic gains, their millionaires will just give it up?

      It doesn't matter, because the Chinese economy is not dominated by their profits, or the need to make profits.

              Learn the fucking basics of the Chinese economy before you talk shit. They have a market sector where capitalists can run profit-making businesses, but they exist on a basis public ownership, are subject to state control, and they don't dominate the economy. The commanding heights of the economy are controlled by the state, which makes five year plans.

      I truly believe any "mask off" moments from China trending the economy anywhere near socialism would provoke world war III
