China’s life expectancy in 1962 was of 51 years, and in 2025 it’s 79, just 3 years shorter than Finland. Considering that China’s urban population is just 2/3rds of the country compared to 85% for Finland, I’d say they’re pretty much there comparing the difference in level of development.
I guess increasing life expectancy of 1.5bn people to European levels in 50 years isn’t socialist enough for you?

Notably, in the US it’s only 78.4.
