How is China so successful as a Communist State?

Q: How is China so successful as a Communist State?

A:

China as a civilization has its downtime and uptime. But overall, China is the most successful civilization in the history of Homo sapiens. China is the only surviving ancient human cradle civilization.

Communism originated in Europe. There are three stages of Communism: Marx created it, Lenin developed it, and Mao developed it further.

The communism that made China successful was the one developed by Mao. The communism developed by Mao is Sinicized communism, which propagated into China and evolved into Chinese culture. Because Chinese civilization is successful, communism, which is blessed with Chinese culture, becomes successful. That’s why communist ideology makes China successful.

The information revolution at the end of the last century is the key to China’s success. The information revolution took place after the collapse of the USSR.

Marx had a theory about economic base and superstructure. The "economic base" or "infrastructure" refers to the economic foundation of society, including the means and relations of production, while the "superstructure" encompasses the legal, political, cultural, and ideological aspects that arise from and reinforce the base. The impulse of progress of a society is driven by the economic base. The information revolution invented the Internet and the computer and drove the world's progress. However, the capitalist superstructure cannot accommodate the elevated production power. That’s why we have the 2008 financial tsunami. China, on the other hand, has a socialist superstructure. The socialist superstructure fits the technologically advanced production power. When the superstructure fits the economic base, society prospers.

We observe the trend in the last two decades. China developed by leap and bounce, while the developed countries stagnated. The developed countries control many resources in the world and have huge capital accumulated in the last few centuries, their economy would have developed faster than China with the rapid technology advance, intuitively. Yet, what we see is that the more the technology advances, the more chaos there is in Western society, while China’s economy grows faster and better. The key is that China has the superstructure that can adopt the newly advanced technology while the US does not.

DOGE makes a huge shock to the US society. This phenomenon, according to Marxist theory, is the symptom of the conflict between advanced production power and the conservative superstructure.

There is a saying in China that only socialism can save China. It is also true that only socialism can save the US, and only socialism can save the world. Or, only socialism can MAGA.
