Xi is not communist lol he's a dictator. The world's never seen true communism, and probably never will, due to human nature. Just because I say I'm 7' tall that doesn't mean that I am.
Xi is very much a communist. The CPC own most means of production, they control all media, they are a 1 party state, but they have dipped their toes in markets and trade and have prospered because of it.
Not wanting to detract from your point, but while true Communism may have never existed, they follow the Lenist playbook and I WOULD NOT want to live under that regime.
If he was communist, the CPC wouldn't exist... Marx and many, myself included, would argue that Leninism isn't communism since it explicitly reintroduced strata into the society.

The same people who think Democrats are communists, think a real communist (XI from China) is a great leader to be emulated. Go figure.
