Public Ownership is not Socialism itself, but a component of a Socialist economy. An economy where public ownership controls the large firms and key industries, ie has genuine political control, is Socialist.
China is a Socialist country run by a Communist party, which is why the overwhelming majority of major Communist orgs recognize it as such. The economy is dominated by the public sector, which controls the large majority of key industries and large firms.
Nothing screams “the public has genuine political control” like having a single political party which unilaterally bans a cartoon bear because it was compared the head of state.
The comments they replied to don’t really seem that way, but elsewhere in that thread looks like the usual type of stuff that .ml communities would Rule 1 pretty quickly. But I’m sure Cowbee knows that’s allowed in that instance and community and the mods know he knows too.
What were the comments? Criticism of the CCP often veers towards sino-phobia so I’d be curious how much of a stretch was being made to warrant a ban.

Yeah I think the bad vibes there is the implicit racism from that user.
