It's a sentence I made, just because the PRC agrees with describing themselves that way doesn't mean I'm not adding to meaningful conversation. When you declare that China is a cocktail of Capitalism and Socialism, what does that actually mean? It seemed like your comment was more about not analyzing China's economy than coming up with a coherent and consistent answer, which is what I pushed forward.

Basically, Capitalism and Socialism are descriptors of overall systems, not portions of an economy, so calling a system a cocktail of each doesn't make too much sense and adds confusion more than clarity.
