Definately not great, but somewhat unsurpsing considering European countries grew to fund such expansive welfare states from the massives proceeds of Imperialism, a "luxuary" which China does not really posses. Whatever our objectives are: ending commodity production, free healthcare, etc., they all are much harder to accomplish when you arent sucking insane amounts of wealth from the rest of the world. I hate that America has been one of the most bloodthirty empires in world history, but i like that this had the unintended consequence of preparing the productive forces and relations of production for an eventual transition to Socialism. But the same is not yet true for China, essentialy what I am saying is America could hit the big red communism button but China cant yet; but hell a lot of places cant even hit the SocDem button because of not only Imperialism but simply the desires of global financial markets, and this rings true for China to an extent too.
