I think I acknowledged what you are saying and you either didn't read it or didn't understand it. Yes, the CCP integrates socialist/Marxist, and even what you could possibly consider communist ideology in an abstract way in its design of the Chinese state, including some of the choices it made regarding representation, the Consitution, etc.
However, when I corrected Thulian and received a barrage of posts arguing that China was 'communist', every one of those posts mistook China's supposed communism for its actual authoritarianism. And those posts were the cause for my comment, not necessarily you specifically.
Like J said, China is as much Communist as the UK is a monarchy. Does the UK have a queen? Yes. Is the UK considered an actual monarchy by anyone other than American 3rd graders? No. Its monarchist elements are vestigial and functionally exist in name only. The UK calls itself a 'constitutional monarchy' but the crown has no real hard power.

I have given you at least 2 posts that explain why china is a communist country ruled by the CCP a communist party.
Your argument is the Crown in the UK holds the same power the CCP does.
