Visiting China doesn't make you an authority on socialism, to where you can disagree with the collective line of a country of 1.4 billion people without any supporting evidence or argument. Neither does it give you a pass to refuse to engage with a clear argument I wrote, copied or not from my own previous comments. Calling it "copypasta" doesn't take away that the comment was made by me, and the arguments themselves still apply perfectly to the vibes you bring as your point.

As for the PRC not abolishing private property, this is a bit of an absurd argument. Private property isn't merely legally outlawed at a formal level, production advances to the point that it could never hope to compete with public property. Socialism is not a paper decree, but a material system. You're deeply confused about socialism, and seem to be fine to repeat nonsense and dodge actual points. What's the point in engaging, then?
