everyone perceives China to be some socialist giant

No they don't.

You're not the only one with functioning eyes.

I don't even remember seeing a person actually arguing China is in any way communist. Just like people don't argue that NK is a democracy despite them calling themselves one.

Who mentioned communism?

Holy shit you can't be that childish.

Okay, let's go with "socialist" then because you're so childish that you're pretending like the form of socialism China is known to claim to be isn't communism.

If you have to pretend to be that stupid, then perhaps you're not in a good position, argument-wise.

😂 How sad. Anyway

What is sad is people like you who can't back up the things they say, and don't even try to.

China is a unitary communist state led by the CCP that self-designates as a socialist state.

All I've said is that in my personal experience visiting China this socialist state feels more capitalist than many other countries due to the insane amount of consumerism and mass consumption.

This is due to reform and opening up in 1978 and a burgeoning middle class with significant purchasing power.

I'm not belittling China with these facts, I'm merely observing what has happened.

And who, besides the CCP, is arguing that China isn't just as capitalist as other large market economy countries despite calling itself socialist?
