What do you mean by the PRC "maximizing billionaires?" The PRC regularly cracks down on their bourgeosie, and the majority of the economy is in the Public Sector, not the Private. What do you mean by "no social services of any kind?" Large infrastructure projects like massive public transit, a much better and more comprehensive public healthcare system than the US, an elimination of extreme poverty in the last decade, the PRC is focusing on the working class. Xi himself is far less rich than most world leaders, can you explain how the PRC is built to "enrich him and his allies?
Further, I have no idea what you mean by "socialized healthcare is a Capitalist scheme to hold the proletariat back." Capitalist concessions do exist in Social Democracies, but they aren't holding the Proletariat back, Bourgeois control of the state is.
Are you trying to say that a Socialist country needs to have 100% of the economy fully socialized to be considered Socialist? What do you call a system transitioning from one system to the next?
Finally, are you trying to say that anyone who disagrees with you is a "Chinese AI bot?"
What on Earth are you talking about? The PRC eliminated extreme poverty, you absolutely would not be left to die on the street. You aren't making any sense.
Because prices are lower there and PPP is raising. There isn't as much of a need to spend and instead they can save. They are "good at Capitalism" because they are using markets as a tool to develop and fold Private Property into the Public Sector as it develops.
That's true in Marx's time, in a Capitalist economy. The PRC has a Socialist Market Economy, which is completely different, and moreover is still rapidly developing infrastructure. Healthcare is cheaper and more readily available than in the US as well.
It's clear that you're arguing in pure bad faith.
You haven't provided sources for any of your numbers, and you immediately moved the goalposts when proven wrong. The PRC's unemployment is nowhere near 30%. Developing infrastructure requires labor, and planning cities for future expansion has helped with China's rapid progress.
You clearly are arguing in pure bad faith and aren't worth responding to.
