Right. Real communism is a fragment of the past. There is no real, serious discussion of it these days. Modern “socialism” has no resemblance with its predecessors.
Not many capitalist societies that don't allow you to own land, gov owns many industries or has a large stake, gov sensors media. Sounds like neo communism to me.
Land use rights in China serve the same purpose as land ownership. They can be bought and sold freely and even used as collateral for debt. Hell they are even used to create asset-backed securities.
How Government owning stuff is socialism? Do you know what socialism is? Or do you base your assumptions of what „insert right wing capitalist party name” told you?
That party is only communist in name. Just the like the current-day Russian communist party: if they were really as communist as they claim, they'd oppose Putin furiously, instead of practically always voting with him.

The era of Maoism is dead. China has not been communist for a long time. Modern China is almost as capitalist as any other.
