    “Xi does think he’s moving to a new kind of system that doesn’t exist anywhere in the world,” said Barry Naughton, a China economy expert at the University of California, San Diego. “I call it a government-steered economy.”

    Xi, Deng etc:

    -“We are communists. Here are our openly stated long term socialist goals and the marxist reasoning and analysis for the choices and policies that have been enacted in the last 40 years. Here are tens of thousands of pages repeating in the most simple terms that Capital isnt in charge of China and that reform and oppening up is and was a means and not a trend towrads complete capitalist restoration. Its the only and most successfull means (for the conditions of China) towards building what we judged as necessary material, geopolitical and technological base and requirements to move beyond it and towards a socialist and secure from outside forces future. It isnt nearly done yet but we have progressed enough that we can start pulling back on some stuff and reign on capital power and corruption”

    “Western expert on Chinese economy” when Xi takes actions completely in line with those plans that rhetoric , ideology and analysis:

    -"OMG this is a totally new system dictator Xi’s is building towards . Who could have seen it coming really?. I CALL IT -random words sticked together instead of basic material and marxist analysis-
