The highest state according to Lenin (one of his few works that I agree with) so yes imperialism is incompatible with socialism. Furthermore, you have not addressed anything I said. China is not a socialist state neither now nor under Mao, because the working class did not hold power, the party elite did. Current China is even further from socialism than in Mao's time since they have openly embraced capitalism. Even Maoists don't defend current China so I'm not sure why you are trying. So once again you are displaying a massive double standard in regards to which imperialism is acceptable and have completely ignored the issues I raised.
