The Chinese dont have the luxury of hoping for a socialist revolution in the west. The west is probably further from than from that now than they were in the early 20th century.
The development of the productive forces of society under the careful watch of a Marxist vanguard party certainly seems pretty ML to me.
Maybe it's all a conspiracy and they are secretly trying to develop along the lines of the United States to stagnate development for the benefit of bourgeoise elites. I don't have a crystal ball though so I don't know what their secret agenda is.
So what's your point? It's impossible to develop socialism from capitalism? Should they go for a lord/serf or master slave dialectic? Do those dialectics miss? Mao tried going straight to socialism and it was a massive disaster. Should they try that again and maybe kill a few more million people?
Seems to me what you are suggesting is that we live in a rigidly deterministic universe where intentionally trying to direct the development of capitalism is impossible.
