Socialism and communism aren’t the same thing. You can be a socialist and not a communist. These things are all on a spectrum, or several spectra. Denmark spending an extra 5% of its GDP on the state sector over the US doesn’t necessarily make it more like China in any practical way. In fact the Laissez fair commercial environment in China probably has more in common with that in the US than Denmark. Chinese health care is almost entirely commercial from a practical point of view. Chinese market regulation such as of advertising is very light, much more like the US than Europe. None of that directly follows from political system.
