“China has communist parties, but right now it’s a social democracy with Chinese characteristics.” ~ Howard Dean Johnson

Asked whether modern China is socialist, communist or something else, Johnson follows the money, the labels and the racial logic shaping each view.

✅ White European economists split: some brand China social-democratic, others communist—China itself never chooses the label
✅ America now owes more debt to China than to any other nation; inside China, hundreds of private firms show it’s no longer a pure planned economy
✅ In Africa, China says “keep your culture, give us the resources,” while the U.S. ties loans to its own social agenda
✅ Johnson insists on a racial lens: Marx critiqued class but ignored white supremacy—see Charles Mills’ The Racial Contract & “Materializing Race”

🗣️ Race shapes every economic costume—name it, and the seams start to show.
