No country is communist. Communism is a stateless, classless, moneyless society where everything is owned collectively. Such a society can only be achieved worldwide, there cannot be “communism in one country”. Socialism is the transition stage between capitalism and communism. China is socialist, since the working class through the CPC controls the state. While there are capitalists, they dont control the state, the state controls them.
Which is why they were able to disappear Jack Ma for a while after he started talking shit about China. Here in America we’d just publish it all over the internet and run it on TV for a few weeks straight and whatever the billionaire’s criticism was would become part of the narrative.

I mean they didnt disappear him tho, they just told him to shut up if he valued his capitalist profits. But yeah i get your point.
