A great podcast episode that helps explain why China isn't socialist
It's common among anti-tankie leftists to claim that China is a state capitalist economy, but as Mia Wong explains, the "state" part of that phrase is debatable. China is arguably just another neoliberal country with a more complicated chain of ownership for its corporations.

Saving to listen later, thanks for this.
It's interesting that such a podcast discussion is seen as needed. Like we don't need to ponder if other China-like entities such as Russia, Israel, USA, North Korea, Soviet Union, Nazi Germany etc. are/were socialist because the answer is an immediate no.
