I’m not saying markets = development of the productive forces towards the end of achieving communism, but that is clearly China’s goal.
Uhmm, i'd beg to differ, but okay.
Do you think socialism is a mode of production? Feudalism is characterized by lord/serf relationships and mercantilism/capitalism by employer/employee. What does a non-capitalist, non-communist, socialist state do coming from a feudal society? What should its relations and mode of production be?
China has for long not been a feudal society, the times of Mao are long gone, but the employee/employer relationships haven't changed much (though as far as i know it's worse for foreign companies), 996 work schedule is still a thing (or is it western propaganda too? If it is, what's the truth?), so pardon me for not believing the socialist project narrative uncritically.
The title of the post says "China isn't doing socialism right", i said they're not doing socialism.
A state can use markets for a lot of things.
