Asking this because i’m a newbie in the topic of socialism and i want to understand whether China is actually considerable socialist or not. A lot of the stuff we see are Chinese brands, owned by privates (at least i think so, correct me if i’m wrong), making tons of capital. So what’s actually going on?

.... So when will the ban be coming in?

China doesn't contribute to unequal exchange, it bypasses it. Jason Hickel, one of the people mentioned in your first article, is enormously supportive of China. I think you need to revisit unequal exchange and how it functions. Your second video is from a member of the "New Nationalists of America," and further still you didn't respond to any of the claims.

...ok....and now that you have said that do you have anything to direct me to further understand unequal exchange AND/OR to further help me understand how ALL members of the Chinese proletariat do not in some type of way get fucked over by unequal exchange please?

The prolewiki page on unequal exchange is a good primer. China itself is harmed by unequal exchange, because it's primarily something higher wage countries benefit from.
