the chinese system is demonstrably Socialist.China is ruled by a nominally communist party.
That party has set up special economic zones where different principles apply.
They are not a nation state, they are a civilization state. A concept hard to grasp by westerners.
We didn't believe them when they said they'd take Hong Kong and be 1 country 2 systems. They did.
"Communism" is their slogan, but "Socialism" is how they act.

the "communist" party still controls their economy through top down "socialism with a chinese characteristic"
