Honestly im not super educated on the topic but I'll put my point of view out there. I think that as it is it has a lot of work to do before I feel like it will become anywhere close to true socialism, THAT SAID It's infinitely better than the united states in that while still having private companies and class disparities it is still actively against the idea at least in theory, the children are being taught how communism works and the horrors of imperialism, none of which the west does. It's also one of the only countries standing up to the US' global terrorism. On the muslims I don't have much I can say without embarrassing myself with my ignorance. I don't really like talking about china but that's my (kind of uneducated) opinion on china.
