No, I will discard it as being false. I asked which industries were controlled by the workers. Those are controlled by the state. The state is not controlled by the workers, it is controlled by Xi Jinping's unelected autocratic regime.
You are being very disingenuous by claiming socialism is when there are state-owned enterprises.
Or are these also socialist countries? In which case, we go back to my original point.

Yes that's definitely exactly what I said thank you. /s
I won't be engaging with you further, thanks.
Then, again, we go back to my first point that China is just as 'communist' as all of those Western countries. I guess we're in agreement.
