What you don't know about it, Juriaan, is that there are significant debates and arguments going on at every level of the CCP about these social changes, and there is a considerable left wing which cannot reconcile the expanding capitalism with the historical allegiance of the party to Marx and collectivized property.  This disagreement and opposition isn't a well kept secret; it seems even the Christian Science Monitor has bothered to pay attention to the discussions going on inside the CCP and the country rather than search through texts for quotes.
 
My knowledge of the disagreements comes from US individuals (members of Marxist organizations)  invited by representatives of the CCP to analyze the collapse of the USSR and its meaning for China's transformation.

You are boring with your "impulse to expansion".
Well functioning economy based on a variety of property forms?  That's nonsense. 
 
That shows how much you know about it.
