| Abstract (English): | This article grounds the study of socialism in the People's Republic of China (PRC), in a critical analysis of power, capitalism, and hegemony. The governance of the Communist Party of China (CPC) is riddled with paradoxes in shaping a distinct socialist model that observers from the West frequently find challenging to digest. It is characterized by both inclusive institutional innovation and authoritarian coercion; leveraging the power of the state in achieving more just economic outcomes while reproducing unfair capitalist social realities; and devising alternatives to the hegemonic neoliberal globalization, while working on safeguarding the status quo and the institutions upon which such hegemony rests. This complex Chinese model is a product of experimentation and learning; some of the lessons that have shaped it originate in the interaction with and reflection on socialist Yugoslavia, whose example has been pivotal in how China has navigated geopolitical complexities and implemented reforms. Finally, the article discusses the contemporary interactions between Yugoslav successor states and China, examining the nature of the impact of Global China and examine any implications for the reflection on socialism in former Yugoslavia.

| Abstract (Bosnian): | Ovaj članak utemeljuje proučavanje socijalizma u Narodnoj Republici Kini (NRK) kroz kritičku analizu moći, kapitalizma i globalnu ulogu. Upravljanje Komunističke partije Kine (KPK) obiluje paradoksima u oblikovanju posebnog socijalističkog modela koji posmatrači sa Zapada često smatraju izazovnim za shvatanje, karakterišući ga kako inkluzivnim institucionalnim inovacijama, tako i autoritarnom prisilom; iskorišćavanje moći države u postizanju pravičnijih ekonomskih rezultata i reprodukovanje nepravednih kapitalističkih društvenih stvarnosti; te osmišljavanje alternativa hegemonoj neoliberalnoj globalizaciji dok radi na očuvanju postojećeg stanja i institucija na kojima počiva. Ovaj kompleksni kineski model proizvod je eksperimentisanja i učenja; neki od naučenih lekcija potiču iz interakcije i razmišljanja o socijalističkoj Jugoslaviji, čiji je primer bio ključan u tome kako je Kina navigirala kroz geopolitičke kompleksnosti i sprovela reforme. Međutim, u kontekstu interakcije između Globalne Kine i globalne (polu)periferije, kao i na primeru savremenih odnosa Kine sa zemljama bivše Jugoslavije, materijalne ishode oblikuju pre geoekonomska razmatranja nego socijalistički ideali.
