But to call T3 a success for socialism and T5 a failure of capitalism would be to miss a fundamental point.
After all, if China's political system can still be called socialism, it is at best "socialism with Chinese characteristics," which embodies an increasing amount of market-oriented economic activity and greater economic openness and transparency.
It would be similarly misleading to attribute T3's success to China alone.
