In addition to what you said, one of CPC’s massive breakthrough with developing socialism is rather than spend lots of money and resources against capitalists and reactionaries, it is instead try to see - where possible - to create a system where they will be willingly useful for the social project ie they took a dialectical materialist approach to its logical conclusion ; now you have libs / capitalists all over the place actively defending the PRC (Inside China Business is an excellent example of this).
