China is not communist in any form anymore, they're authoritarian late stage techno-capitalism with remnants of communist social structures. And before someone says "but they execute billionaires", they only execute billionaires that get in the way of other billionaires' profits, they never execute billionaires for being billionaires or for making those billions by exploiting the workers.
Just a planned economy governed by it's native population with a public policy centered on general social welfare.
Nothing Communist about this at all, no sir.
That's certainly the American spin. It's actually double-plus capitalism when you prosecute plutocrats. Because a rules based national order promoted domestic growth. And that's... bad?
Anyway, don't ask about their social housing, public education, public health care, and public mass transit. That's Not Real Communism!
