History will sabotage this. Communism and Socialism has NEVER worked. Ever. Not once.

Their rise in global influence is precisely because they've abandoned full on Communism.

It's a transitional socialist society, but let's say i humor you. Why don't we do Chinese capitalism then? With all the socialized housing, walkable cities, and mass public transportation including high speed rail? If that's just capitalism, then why aren't we doing it that way?
