The PRC has atleast 100 billionaires in the upper sections of its government and "Communist" party, and many more millionaires.

These sources are both false and misleading. The economy of the People's Republic of China is very similar to that of a Fascist state, in that state and capital have merged to such an extent to which even the state-owned economic assets are de-facto in the hands of the ultra-rich. Even if these sources were correct, it does not change the fact that the state-owned sections of the economy are a minority, making up only aboud 25% of the economy, the rest being privately owned.

Perhaps you Dengists should consider reading the works of actual Marxists, it will help you understand that multi-billionaires and Socialism are incapable.

"It's totally a core theory in Marxism to enslave your country to Western corporations, create a massive clique multi-billionaires who run the Communist Party, maintain massive stock markets, have sixteen-hour workdays, totally Marxist! This is what Lenin would dream about!"> -Dengists

Completely false. The economy of the People's Republic of China is not a planned economy - the vast majority of its economy is under the control of private corporations, and is not subject to government planning. Capitalism is not "locked in a cage" in China, for Capitalism is locking China in a cage, via constant labour abuses, extremely poor working conditions, plutocratic rule, ect. Furthermore, the "Communist" Party of China has no plans to recreate a planned economy, nor Socialism. In short, China is undergoing an NEP (state-capitalism) without end.
