China is socialist. Socialist with Chinese Characteristics to be precise. They don't claim they've achieved Communism. They're officially in transitional state with planned market economy.

>calls itself communist has billionaires
It does not. They call themselves Socialist state. The Communist Party's goal is to achieve Communism.

>has billionaires
And they keep disappearing when they get uppity. They also hold no actual power. In China, Jack Ma gets kidnapped and raped for months. In USA, Elon Musk buys himself a president.

>private companies
All have CPC board members once they become big. No private company may do what it wants.

>huge class divide
China uplifted 800 million people out of absolute poverty and they just keep expanding their middle class. Some areas will get richer first, obviously, since they're SEZ. That's not a divide since even the plebs now own multiple homes.

>nationalist first, not internationalist
This is very true to some degree. But it's for the betterment of the Chinese people primarily. However others are welcome to participate if they want. China doesn't regime change people. They shake hands with bot Milei and the Taliban. Pragmatism is more beneficial in the long run. That's how China has so many ports in Africa despite not bombing or funding any guerillas there.

>party + corporations fused like fascism
They're not fused. Corporations are subservient to the party.

>cult of Xi
Only exist in western media because westerners are generally low IQ and easily manipulated with these cult of personality celeb gossip stories about singular leader. Like how you keep talking about Putin, painting him as some sort of a super mecha Hitler when in fact he's a western loving liberal mediator, at odds with actual ultra nationalists.
Same with Xi. He's there to speak for the Politburo. And Politburo itself is not as bloodthirsty as an average Chinese guy willing to fire nukes at Taiwan at any provocation.
