By definition a communist society is stateless, moneyless, and classless. Non of which China has achieved.

None of which any state which has nominally aspired toward Communism has achieved. There have been no Communist states. There have been states which have claimed, perhaps earnestly, that they are trying to transition to Communism. There can be no Communist state, it's a contradiction of terms.
