Okay so you and a lot of people on .world might not like this because I am using an explicitly communist source, worse an explicitly communist wiki but I have read a good chunk of the source material here and don’t feel like rewriting all of it when I can just link it. Anyway here are some links that should be informative if you want to understand the philosophies that guide the CPC and the structure of its state.

Socialism With Chinese Characteristics

Reform and Opening Up

Socialist Market Economy

People’s Republic of China

I ask you to be curious. Investigate the claims you see here, look at the sources used and judge them for yourself. I know you are not likely to be receptive to the communist perspective, most people are not and I am not trying to make you a communist through this. Its just that communists put a lot of time and effort into critically understanding other communists and their projects. Its a lot to investigate, don’t expect to read or understand it all in one night. It is going to be difficult to have a fully developed understanding of the Chinese system without reading some books just as any other government but these should suffice for most use cases. Good luck ❤️
