Successful? Where? How's that housing market, bud? Healthcare? Child mortality rate? Freedom of expression? When was the last time China contributed to the arts, music? If you measure success in the amount of coal you can burn in a week, sure, success. In the mean time, try not to choke.
Based on the most up to date information I could find, infant mortality in China is 5.47 per 1000 compared to 5.44 in the US. Comparing the countries by wealth per capita, I don't see how you could possibly think this is a dunk, though obviously Cuba is much better than both.

I should mention that the distortion in US data is true, but the vast majority of infant deaths take place in the weeks after birth, so it's a much smaller distortion than it appears on paper. I have not yet found what China's window is.
I found 8.397/1000 and I'm sure that doesn't include uyghurs and any poor people the party doesn't decide to count. My country(not the US) is less than 4 so this isn't a flex.
By the way, this study uses the US definition, so you can use that for comparisons:
