But Lenin viewed the NEP as a compromise with capitalism to gain time awaiting the world revolution, a dangerous one because it breed a new capitalist class out of peasants. Simultaneously with the NEP, Bolsheviks tried to help the world revolution (the policy of the third international before Stalin). China is not trying to foster any revolution, they have 100 billionaries as parliament members! China policy seems one of restoration of capitalism, not of compromise.
