    criticizes china once

    That's because China hasn't fucked up enough times for China to be criticized. But if China had a more incompetent government, mark my words, this site would be filled with "China bad China bad" posts.

      Considering the actual society isn't socialist, it's a capitalist economy overseen by a marxist, socialist government, yeah. That's exactly what one should expect. If the government/CPC sucks - the sole socialist base of the country - then China would be bad, yeah.

        A society isn't just its mode of production, but a dialectical relationship between its base and superstructure. A capitalist society needs a capitalist base and a capitalist superstructure. Even if we accept the premise that China has a capitalist base, it absolutely does not have a capitalist superstructure, so China is not a capitalist society.
