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.
Oh, this shit is great. You can see the contradictions.
