China can discipline individual capitalists but it cannot discipline Capital (in more vulgar terms, international capital).

Since it lacks this capacity China is therefore dependent on Capital cooperating with it to achieve its vision of Socialism.

Thus it will not achieve Socialism with its current trajectory.
It was the NIF two years ago but it’s also not going to be generating power ever, it was just a demonstration/proof of concept.
