Yeah, my partner went to SFU (Shanghai Finance University) and it would have been during Deng's reforms, and even her understanding of Marxism when we met was like... :lenin-confused:
there is mao thought in our class and more in university if you want to be cadre i guess.compared to mao,i love deng for what he brought china out of mire
i am chinese,i can see most of chinese idealize sweden,because of its better rich life,not its so called communism.china is large and billion people,so we have diverse opinions.by the way,china is not communism but socialism with chinese characteristic.we still are still developing country and need to raise the standard of living.sorry for my bad english.
I think people here understand that China is a country still transitioning towards Socialism, let alone Communism. It's not surprising that during this process Chinese people will look at a functioning Social Democracy like Sweden and see echoes of the goals their society is working towards. They don't see the imperial exploitation propping it up in cheap resources. Because working conditions are relatively better, they don't see that at the foundation, it's still a system ruled by Capitalists rather than the workers, who are still exploited.
The difference with China is that, for all the criticisms I could make, it has a Dictatorship of the Proletariat and can tell the Capitalists that their games are over. This means that China can roll out Socialism and build it out as they develop. In Sweden, the Left has to fight without state power just to keep what they have. Even if a government wanted to expand worker rights and move towards communism, they'd be blocked by national and international capitalism.
I know a lot of people in China are annoyed by the CPC, as any person is with the mistakes of their country's government, and I myself wish they'd move back towards Planned Economies and have a more pro-Socialist foreign policy. But whatever it's flaws it's a beacon of hope for the world.
China is what China is...projecting your hopes onto it is guaranteed to result in disillusionment. Like the Chinese who moved to Sweden thinking it would solve all their problems, only to find an alien country with weird food and uncomfortable culture. They end up learning more about their own country than their new one.
A theoretical actual Maoist would probably tell us to cease the idol worship and try to make that better world ourselves while paying attention to the lessons taught by generations before us. No need to hope if we are making our own luck.

It's true. Most nationals that I've talked to believe socialism is when the government does things. Also, capitalism is when democracy.
Many people I worked with didn't know what a strike or labor union is.
Edit: I would like to add that the average Chinese national's baseline politics are far less repugnant than a Westerner's despite being lib
