The West once again gets it wrong on China

The country's remarkable economic achievements are attributable to socialist market economy, which gives full play to the advantages of both the socialist system and market economy, and have nothing to do with "state capitalism"

The United States equates China's economy with "state capitalism", saying socialist market economy is not real market economy but state-led protectionist and mercantilist economy, which, it claims justifies the imposition of high tariffs on Chinese goods.

This is not the first time a Western country has labeled China's economic model as "state capitalism". Some people are re-circulating the term in the West now to hide the real reason why the US has resorted to trade protectionism and imposed high tariffs on Chinese imports, namely, their concern over China's development road and economic system.
