You didn't actually respond to the comment. Both stemming from Marxism doesn't somehow make them magically the same, as you seem to be implying.

Again, China's 'socialism' is very different nearly all variations found in Western Democracies.

I’m not implying they are the same. I’m saying it’s still socialism.

Private property under China is fundamentally different. The communist party can redistribute it any time. You can’t sue the Chinese government to get your property back, as they can amend any laws at will.

So it being different than European communism doesn’t meant it’s not socialism.
