    The joke here is calling China “socialist”, right?

    Edit: Be honest. How can you call a country socialist if it has billionaires?

      If China had no billionaires, you’d be saying “how can it be socialist if it has millionaires!” If it had no millionaires you’d complain about people having thousands of dollars.
