I understand that the market reforms where great for the people of China and helped it develop into a global superpower competing with the USA. However, now that there is such growth, shouldn't they start tuning down the private sector until it's fully replaced? Similar market reforms happened in the USSR, but that was replaced when the USSR economy grew. I tried to research it, but all I got was capitalist bs from the west. Also, even with the private sector, shouldn't higher education be paid for? I understand that there is nuance and it is not that simple, that is why I'm posting this: I want to understand the nuance, not to spread ultra bs.

Neither do i, for the record. But we have to acknowledge that we are not in their position, we don't have all the facts available, we don't have all the data they do, we are not privy to their internal discussions, and so we shouldn't think that we know better than them how they should run their country. If we did that, would we be any better than the western chauvinists who want to dictate that every country should adopt our liberal model?

We can only judge by looking at the results, and so far, looking at where China is now vs where it was 40 years ago, the results are not just good, they are amazing. This doesn't mean there aren't significant problems and contradictions within China, partly as a result of the very same policies which got them to where they are today. Sooner or later these contradictions will have to be resolved. How, i don't know. That's for them to figure out.
