This is the correct answer.

The only reason China hasn't collapsed entirely is the degree of capitalism they have embraced.

And they have still managed to create a real estate crisis that is slowing their economy and their past birth rate policies are going to create a downright dangerous system for them within the next so many years.

Communism, socialism, marxim, fascism, collectivism, etc. All just different paths to authoritarianism. Friedrich Hayek did a pretty good job of expounding on that topic.

The guy that took a 10% government stake in intel, gave the US voting rights in a steel company, and wanted to self direct tariff revenue investments respects the Chinese state run economy?!

You would have a fricking stroke if Bernie or Obama praised the Chinese for making socialism work. China is a corrupt shite hole propped up by human rights abuses, currency manipulation and IP theft while the ruling class dances on the peasants' graves. They don't deserve anything.

China has tons of business owners who are millionaires. Whatever form of socialism that is, it's not what Mao had in mind.

The only thing I begrudgingly respect about the CCP leadership is how they took full advantage of Nixon’s efforts to open China to the world and instead of becoming more democratized, they completely turned the tables and made authoritarian CCP-styled “capitalism” the envy of the WEF and the western political elite class everywhere.

It doesn't work in China. Their "success" is bult off the backs hundreds of millions of people with no rights who are basically slaves to the government.

He wants something from China, and has a big meeting w Xi coming up, so he’s being nice right now. Having said that, when I saw him say that stuff in that way, I was thinking “Too much bruh. Stop before you go too far, and your enemies start calling you a communist.” And, of course he didn’t. So, now all the Dems are trying to capitalize on it. He is wrong for what he said and especially how he said it.

Many years ago they almost conquered the world with a nut-less slave leading their ships. (all slaves had their nuts cut off )
Then the emperor died, they recalled the ships and set them all on fire.


AI Overview
In the early 15th century, China did indeed deploy the most powerful navy in the world under the leadership of a eunuch admiral, Zheng He. While they did not officially conquer the world, they established massive maritime supremacy throughout the Indian Ocean and Africa, creating a vast tribute system that showcased Chinese power decades before European explorers began their voyages
