Alright, now I get that your opinion is positive on average, but we gotta address the elephant in the room, which is that China is a market economy and that there's no soviets or direct ownership of the means of production (or at least not as far as I know). How is China socialist then? I have heard many Trotskyst define China as "state capitalist" more than socialist

EDIT: Thank you all for your detailed responses, I will make sure to do my homework and study well

Not only are the means of production privately owned by the capitalist class but the state, likewise, is controlled by the capitalist class who make up the majority of the communist party's membership. To deny this obvious fact is pure cope and doesn't help our analysis of the Chinese model but hinder it.

This is completely false. See my sources above.
