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.
