Sure, it's a one-party state, but it's a communist one-party state

Wasn't communism supposed to be a classless, stateless, and moneyless society?

people's needs are generally met

Except if you're a political dissident or a Uyghur.

You also seem to overlook the massive state surveillance apparatus. The NSA and FBI are probably jealous of how far reaching some of the Chinese systems are.

China is essentially an autocratic state-capitalist country, with some communist aesthetics.

But then again, your comment is nothing I wouldn't expect from someone from hexbear.
