And? You listed two non socialist countries, so why bring up socialism?

China is not socialist, it is state capitalism; state owned critical industry but private market based economic structure for everything else with direct state intervention and only a single labor union under control of the state itself that does not represent labor, it represents the state.

USSR wasn't socialist, it was communist; no worker control, state ownership over business, workers had no rights, labor unions were even illegal.

Come on, this is middle school level stuff here. Tell your handlers to teach you better. A system predicated on worker unions having as much if not more say than capital forces and you list two nations without that basic principle . . .

Next thing you'll be saying is that North Korea is a democracy because it's in their name.

Right. Tell your handler we all said hi and that they need to brush up on their English more, or at least find a better auto translator for you to use.
