Cool, China has gone towards a state that is more exploitative and abusive to its workers than it had been 10-20 years ago.
Im not claiming that China never putsued these goals I am outright statibg that it is a lie to suggest they are pursuing them now. They have goven up and are more nei-mercantilist/capitalist than anything resembling what Marx advocates.
What? The PRC has had dramatic improvements in worker rights in the last decade or two. The peak of abuse was in the 90s. Where are you getting this idea? Your statement that China has abandoned it's goals is nonsense, just look at their successfully completed poverty eradication campaign.
Genuinely, what is your evidence to the contrary? They outright state their plans and usually do a good job of meeting them, and they still have a Socialist economy, albeit a Socialist Market Economy and not one that looks like the USSR's, for example. They are still Marxist.
