China followed Maoism, which was also an authoritarian state. In such theories, they are "communist" in that they ostensibly seek to progress to a communist society. Tbh I doubt the sincerity of such a pursuit.

There are communities that could be genuinely considered communist in its true form, but people typically don't cite them as examples of communism working since they're not nation-states ... which is the whole point lol
