Socialism is a transitory stage between capitalism and communism where there is ongoing class warfare between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat my dude. In China, the state is on the side of the proletariat, not the bourgeois.

And putting money into health and infrastructure is possible under capitalism

And yet China is the only major power where the state has a tight grip on both... Interesting!

THEN BAN BILLIONAIRES AND STOP FOLLOWING DENG'S CAPITALISM JFC. Not that hard if they were actually socialist and aiming for communism.

“[Capitalists] act as if they are being chased by a bear,” wrote Zhang Lin, a Beijing political commentator, in response to these comments. “They are powerless to control the bear, so they are competing to outrun each other to escape the animal.”
