Frankly, do the results not speak for themselves? China went from an agrarian economy recovering from a brutal invasion and occupation to a industrial superpower in under 100 years. Of course not everything was done perfectly, but the level of scrutiny given to AES states imo is ridiculous. If China was a western state that had accomplished the same things and was capitalist it would be lauded as the model the rest of the world should emulate. Instead everyone nitpicks them constantly. Just keep that in mind when you see critisisms. They dont always come from a genuine place.
