40 years ago China had the statistics of sub suharan Africa
China has lifted 800 million people out of poverty in a generation
From being illiterate, backward farmers still binding the feet of women and a million other backward characteristics to a space faring nation
Without exploiting a single colony as the imperialists did
Now im not a communist that believes China is socialist right now (though I am sympathetic to the arguements made) however China under CPC leadership has moved mountains on Earth
And the Chinese Communist Party acknowledges the many contradictions within Chinese society
So im all for a comradely debate on China...Only when Westerners acknowledge CPCs achievements
You can recognize all of the above and have them not be socialist, it really isn't complicated. There's not much materially different between how Singapore runs their country than what China does.
The interlocking of state and economy with limited judicial oversight is an incredibly effective way to uplift an entire country.
There are a number reasons for the western left to view China favorably, but they don't really have much to do with them being socialist.
Hell, ask political leaders in China what they are and they'll tell you that they view themselves as a social democracy that arrived to that point but in the opposite direction.
