And yet China is basically the same as the USA will be in a few years. A hypercapitalist country (under the disguise of communism) that caters to the already rich, with incredibly authotarian methods that funds its wealth largely by overexpenditure of the state.

Sure many Chinese have profited, but many have been deliberately thrown under the bus, even more so now with record-high youth unemployment and homelessness. Sure they've build a lot of good infrastructure, though it's debatable whether the quality is any good, but that was done to fund companies and fill the pockets of corrupt politicians and their buddies.

China should not be an example of a good social state to anyone.
