I'm sure that the Chinese workers know this, so not sure why you're
telling us. If you are interested in how the Chinese government works,
Daniel A Bell is interesting, for example:

At the same time, it has become the leading actor of the global market
economy,
with the usual trappings of capitalism - millionaires, stock
exchanges, labour exploitation, etc.
So, like the USA, Canada, Germany and the many other countries, then.
In the face of such contradictions, how might one even consider China
as being capable of furthering any genuinely leftist strategy at all?
Because it has mobilized and militant workers, which is the only thing
that makes a left strategy possible anywhere.
As already stated, the strategy I support is fighting to improve the
conditions of the people in our countries and fighting to prevent our
countries from engaging in aggression abroad.
Judging China is not a part of his strategy, and should not be, because
it's a bad strategy. We should trust the Chinese workers to resolve
their contradictions, and focus on our own rather than allowing our
elite to propagandize into thinking they are our enemies.
