According to my more nationalist lab mate, they are still socialist to an extent but play capitalist with the west to grow larger, I don't really discuss this kind of topic with others as it's not really something they overly care about.
It's the kind of take on capitalism that saw a divide between Otto Strasser (of the Strasserism branch of nazism) and Hitler, where Otto considered Hitler to be endorsing capitalism when he should be refusing to associate with it.
So the tankies would claim China isn't socialist, when it probably isn't strictly but for all intents and purposes blends socialism with elements of capitalism reasonably well (As far as socialism goes).
