Chinese nationalism (as promoted by Chinese nationalists such as Sun-Yat Sen and Chen Duxiu) tends to be somewhat different than the more ethnocentric European nationalism. Even the French Revolution, which was based off a more civic understanding of nationalism, could be ethnocentric. Robespierre had the Prussian-born revolutionary Anacharsis Cloots executed so that he could claim to have ridded France of "foreign influence." While Chinese nationalism has certainly not been completely free from xenophobia (Boxer Rebellion), it has predominantly been ethnically inclusive, accepting China's racial diversity and calling for the coming together of all Chinese.
Market socialism would create a system that abolishes wage labor, but encourages hard work and productivity. Such a system would abolish private property, but retain personal property; it would have communal ownership of the means of production, but what is produced would be the property of whoever produced it. Workers would not be paid wage labor, but would sell what they produce directly to stores, and receive the full value of their goods. The capitalist mode of production would be no more, and as workers would be their own employers, no regulation would be required. When something required more than one person to produce, workers would form temporary unions that would coordinate work, and th3en split the profits among themselves in a mutually agreed upon way,.
