cuz the companies are part of the state

Beeman, china is not communist even if their party is communist

>freely
so china will allow competition for state run/owned businesses?

Communism requires a classless, stateless society

I didnt say it was communist

I said it was socialist

Same thing btw

I've been very specific in my phrasing

it's not lol

But like hey

holy fuck

communism is not socialism

never said it was good

2 times

it's not about quality

**IT'S NOT ABOUT QUALITY**

Nothing is 100% beeman

it's about the characteristics of the system

It's all about percent

China owns the means of production, ergo it's a socialist system

Not all means of production

Nazi Germany also allowed individuals to run and profit from running companies, but at the end of the day the state determined what happened to that company

Just the largest means

Codes is also wrong. China is far from capitalist

you are allowed to operate a business, but you don't own it

^

@Abel I disagree with the "also" though, as I never said China was communist, just that it wasnt capitalist

You guys seem to thing that your either capitalist or your not

the only capitalism that china use is state run capitalism

"state run capitalism" isn't capitalism

Its privately owned by people that are part of the party

Economic systems merge

so yes

And twist

its not true capitalism

Many of the biggest companies are still state owned.

it's like saying you have a democracy when you have only one viable candidate

China Telecom (中国电信集团公司), for example, is state owned.

its private businesses free market controlled by Xinpings inner group

it's not private if it's owned by the government

What they do, though, is issue shares that can be publicly traded.
