Hey comrades, can someone please enlighten me on the holes that I have on my knowledge of China. I know that China currently has a restricted bourgeoisie class to be able to get enough capital to modernize the entire country. And that makes me wonder, if China has plans to eventually get rid of their bourgeoisie once it achieves it target goal. Does it have ever set a date or a specific plan on this?

I believe they've stated their goal is by 2050

Do you have the link to the article where they mention this?

I think he's referring to the 2049 centenary goal of a "strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious, and modern socialist country". Unfortunately for planned economy enthusiasts, I can't recall a single official statement that links such a goal with a drastic change in how the economy is run. For the CPC, SWCC is socialism. Unless the collapse of capitalism in 2040 or whatever makes it necessary, don't expect China to implement cyber communism.

No, they aren't liberals. They base their plans on material conditions. They aren't going to make a plan based on ideology without respect to material conditions

Yeah, so the current SWCC model will continue for as long as it works well. Which is not forever, but there's also no set date because that wouldn't be materialist.
