Genuine question so please don’t hate on me. It seems to me that china now is more of a mixed market than a planned economy. Billionaires and class disparities definitely still exist in China and it seems like american communists almost romanticize china while ignoring obvious flaws in its system, only because they (rightfully) hate america and america hates China. China also supplies all of the world’s exploitative corporations with the vast majority of their goods. While China is probably better than the capitalist economies of the west, I don’t understand why a lot of people seem to hold it in the same regard as the USSR.

      I honestly support China because they're pretty explicitly anti-imperialist which makes the contradictions that arise from their foreign investment more blatant. Even though the current Chinese system is far from perfect, it still models a stage of capitalism where revolution is possible and the party has maintained the pathways for a real moment of the working class to overthrow it.

        explicitly anti-imperialist

        I'm not sure I would conflate the concepts of "strict non interventionism" and "explicitly anti-imperialist" tbh. I've only seen evidence of the former, which is fine and probably the correct move.
