I don’t think it’s controversial to suggest that the US economy is heavily guided by the profit motive, and that megacorps control the state, while the PRC has been utilizing a largely planned economy to achieve large infrastructure goals and long-term plans. Even if you’re anti-PRC, this is just indisputable.
The PRC has markets, but the overwhelming majority of large firms and key industries are state owned and planned. Even the medium firms are controlled by the golden share system. The PRC’s corruption got pretty bad in the 90s and 2000s, but Xi’s career has been so successful due to running a strong anti-corruption campaign. The PRC is socialist.
Their large firms and key industries are publicly owned, and central planning is the backbone of their economy. Their economic base is the public sector. This is socialism. State capitalism is when the large firms and key industries are privately owned, but directed by a strong state, like Singapore, the Republic of Korea, Bismark’s Germany, and the US post-WWII. As far as corruption, over 90% of Chinese citizens approve of their government. Xi is incredibly popular because of the anti-corruption campaigns successfully removing large amounts of opportunists.
Public ownership is collectivized, private is individual or a group of investors. Private ownership requires profits at a systemic level (if not individually), while public doesn’t need to. Does that make sense? With collectivized ownership we can abolish the profit motive, and plan the economy more effectively.
I’m curious how public ownership is managed. Do they also have people in charge, but they can be elected? And what motivates their decisions?
From what I understand, with private ownership there are directors who make decisions based on profit motives. Which doesn’t always align with what consumers want. Which is bad, of course.
Xi being head of state does not mean he owns the economy. This is incredibly silly, it’s the same logic that people used when claiming Castro was incredibly wealthy, and just pointing to the GDP of Cuba as proof.
A study from a western firm that found that Chinese citizens overwhelmingly approve of their government because of the dramatic and consistent improvements in their lives is absolutely proof of support for the system. It isn’t proof of Xi being a “dictator.”
Come on, this is nonsense. Please stick to reality.
No, Putin does not own the economy, just like Trump does not own the US. This is silly. Additionally, Russia is capitalist, and the PRC is socialist.
No, the CPC does not take organs from people off the streets. This is incredibly racist propaganda, and I cannot believe you’re repeating this.
I’m not “simping” for anything, I’ve provided sources for what I’ve said, while you live in fantasy land where heads of state are owners of economies like we live in feudalism. This is nonsense. Plus, not sure why you’re bringing in the DPRK and RF unprompted, we were discussing the PRC.

I don’t really know what you think socialism is.
How publicly owned differs from privately owned? I assume there are no person who collects the profit, is it correct?

Depends on the system, but think of how public services are run, that’s an example.

No, they don’t. You have no clue what you’re talking about, nor how government spending works.

Okay, this is deeply unserious.

The CPC absolutely looks out for the people of China. From the highly successful poverty eradication campaign, to the consistently and dramatically rising incomes for the working class, to the large infrastructure projects, the CPC is focused on the proletariat.
