I'm confused here. To me, it looks like China has entirely sacrificed communism in favor of commerce, and is using the power of a one-party system to keep workers lives shitty in order to dominate global manufacturing. There's no communism at all, there's just power and wealth being grabbed by the governing party.

Something something material conditions. China is a country which is barely held together by glue and prayers. There are lots of times when they do act socialist, for example the meme of "China Consequences" for billionaires who blatantly break the law. That shit don't fly there.

Is it socialism or is it communism or is this just another discussion with people who understand the words they use?
