Whoa. Calm down. a) I'm not in China, and yes it would be reasonable to mention Chinese economic progress lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty by shifting towards a capitalist economic model under Deng Xiaoping, starting around 1979.
b) I said nothing of the sort about the current system in mainland China being 'good', or the CCP being a 'good thing' (I would be the last person to say something like that about a communist party anywhere), so stop putting words in my mouth and don't make it personal. Capitalism has objectively propelled China's economy to where it is now and made it overwhelmingly more prosperous than it was before they tried it.
