The question of China has persistently bedeviled the global left.
No it doesn't. Pretty much the vast majority of communists and most socialists are on board with China. The only major parties who don't like China are the various MLM parties and the Communist Party of Japan. Everyone else is too insignificant to bother mentioning. No one care that your Hoxhaist party with De Leonist characteristics of 10 people thinks every Chinese socialist from Mao to Xi was revisionist. Chavez's and Maduro's party the PSUV alone is 7 million strong. There probably aren't even that many anti-China socialists unless you start counting random Sinophobic radlibs as socialists.
an authoritarian form of capitalism that fluctuates with the booms and busts of the global market
Just like how the Chinese economy busted during the 1997 Asian financial crisis or the Great Recession or the Covid Recession. "Oh no, China's economy grew by 4.9% instead of the projected 5.2%" doesn't count as "fluctuating with the busts of the global market."
In short, trash-tier article from the Jacobin. But then again, what else do we expect from them?
