They do talk about class struggle, it's part of the high school curriculum for the course “思想政治”, ideology and politics course. Also, you can look at the three represents, which tackles the class question.
There is a point where class struggle has to take the back seat in a socialist controlled country for you to properly levy your productive forces and create cohesion. Constantly fighting the forces within when bourgeois forces don't hold political power is self-defeating.
Here is what Trav said: "Deng Xiaoping Theory operates on a similar premise: that class struggle is over in the People's Republic of China. Since it's had its revolution, it's now 'the people' in charge" (Trav 16:54)
People in governance and the party come from the ordinary people. The country however isn't directly run by the people, due to the responsibilities and capacity the identity as a party member or someone in governance entails you there is a separation. There is a reason for the distinction, because as a party member you have to exclude yourself and the other people in the party from the ordinary people. Because you're working for the prosperity of the ordinary people, and that doesn't include party members. If it did it'd become an excuse for corruption.
Saying the people are in charge leaves out a lot of nuance.
