China is a unitary communist state led by the CCP that self-designates as a socialist state.

All I’ve said is that in my personal experience visiting China this socialist state feels more capitalist than many other countries due to the insane amount of consumerism and mass consumption.

This is due to reform and opening up in 1978 and a burgeoning middle class with significant purchasing power.

I’m not belittling China with these facts, I’m merely observing what has happened.

😂 How sad. Anyway

Who mentioned communism?

Funny, everyone perceives China to be some socialist giant. I just spent a week there and it’s more capitalist and consumer centric than anything I’ve ever seen. Certainly more than Singapore, USA, UK. All the brands x all the shopping. It’s not a tourist spot, it’s a shopping experience.

Isn’t that the point though? The book enshittifies

Or am I missing the ironic tone?
