    China has come along way.
    As of the time of this writing, the communist country is the second-largest economy in the world and looks poised to reclaim its title as the world's largest economy within the next century.
    So without further ado, let's explore modern-day china and see how it has transformed from a half-crippled state into the economic superpower we know today.

To give you a rough idea, the damage was mostly done by ignorent people that elected corrupt/socialist and borderline traitorous governments that increased government spending, using it to create votes and support, not economic growth, while ignoring the incredible economic potential that the eurozone and european union brought (amongst many others )

      @Anurag Chakraborty If you read Engels and Lenin, you see that "State Capitalism" is a necessary phase that presupposes "actual" Socialism. What China is doing is like an enlargement of what the USSR was doing under the NEP, that is developing productive forces. They opened to the world in order to acquire its technologies and research. That implies having a system oriented to foreign relationship. Still, a communist party guides the government and does what is necessary to redistribute and make sure no one steps out of line.

    This is an excellent video, showing a deeper understanding of China than the typical superficial news report. One detail though: the first four SEZ Special Economic Zone were Shenzhen, which has been wildly successful, Xiamen, which is still prosperous, and Shantou plus Zhuhai. Shanghai and Beijing were not on the original list. One can admire the success of Shenzhen (largely due to its connection with Hong Kong) and Xiamen (largely due to its connection with Taiwan), and balance it with Shantou and Zhuhai.

      I don’t get the sense that he was criticizing China, but perhaps he was? I get the sense that he tried to present good background information that is sorely lacking in today’s soundbite news, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns. People in China has largely lifted themselves out of poverty, in numbers that is unprecedented in human history, without relying on foreign handout, and that is absolutely a good thing. But China is still relying on a 19th Century ideology, namely communism/authoritarianism, that is incompatible with modern day western democracies. Which system will prevail? This is something that will play out in the next few decades.

      There are those who believe China is no longer a communist country, which means these people were not thoroughly subscribing to the party line, which always emphasize the supremacy and greatness of the party. Whatever these people want to call it, structurally the system in China is still authoritarian, with the boss calling all the shots.
      Those that doubt whether Marxist-Leninist economics is even feasible has obviously not studied the history of the Soviet Union nor Nazi Germany, nor present day Cuba. It is feasible, but it does not work well.
      As for those that claim "no successful country in the world was built on democracy", I would say there are plenty of failed countries, past and present, which did not have democracy either in form or essence. While democracy is not perfect, it is better than all other systems out there. You should be thankful that hopefully you live in a society where freedom of speech is honored and guaranteed, instead of having some big brothers having the power and right to veto and limit your thoughts and communications.

So it's the real purchasing power of the value of all the national products, right?

It has been interesting to see when local or provincial officials pop up claiming that it's time to recentralize the wealth distribution (i.e. go back to actual communist practices) they either get managed out or worse. When you are the only party in town you have to make sure there aren't any crashers.

      Although looking forward the continuous prosperity promised only gets more difficult to achieve over time with the looming headwinds of unreversed aging, overleveraged debts, loss of easy profit opportunities, and industrial pollution further reducing the stock of arable land and potable water. However the CPC doesn't tolerate dissent or challenges to its power, but it might have to allow political competition to at least appear like they're the best choice, or risk ruling over an increasingly more suffocated and less productive China if it does survive intact.
      It's not obvious right now, but in a couple decades the cracks will become more visible. The question then is will the Party find flexibility to absorb those stresses, or will it double down on hardness and likely get more brittle in the process.
