Yes. I simply found it somewhat ironic that someone would point out that a Communist nation would need unions given the definition of Communism. It was to me a Monty Python level of dry humor to suggest that, and I felt my response should match that dry humor.

Is it? Seemed like a dig specifically at the fact that China doesn't have a true union movement. Not a dog at communism in general.

China isn't communist, nor very socialist, for that matter.

Capitalism with Chinese characteristics seems more of an apt description.

Pointing out that China is a dictatorship doesn't mean that socialism is bad.
