>Chinese people today have lived through an economic miracle

The so called 'economic miracle' fallacy only works if you ignore that it was the CCP who crippled the economic development of China.

Loosening your grip upon your victim's neck is not the same as performing the Heimlich maneuver. It doesn't make you a qualified doctor. The 'economic miracle' fallacy presents the strangler as the savior.

If we can agree that the Great Leap Forward was a regressive measure, then what of the One Child Policy? Is this not regressive and changing the terms of success? If you can not create positive economic outcomes for the majority of your population, shrinking your population is the same as moving the goal posts.

Ultimately it was not central planning which advanced the economic circumstances of Chinese people. It was the individual acts of citizens.
