I'm genuinely curious why you seem to emphasize "communist" in all your descriptions of China.

China is communist.

Isn't China communist?

How many times do you need to be told that China is only "communist" in name? It's a capitalist country. Even more so than the US recently.

Chinese regime is in no way communist. It is only in the name and has been so for years.

China is only communist in name. It's a non-liberal capitalist country, with something of a non-universal social safety net.

China is not really communist. It is just a really big corporation that treats its employees like crap, and sells their organs to rich Saudis and Westerners.

China isn't Communist though. They're a socialist leaning capitalist state with single party authoritarian rule participating in ethnic cleansing.

That's fascist.

China isn’t communist. China is a one-party state with state-controlled capitalism. The name CCP is only historical and fuels propaganda. Instead of looking at names, look at the actual economics of the country.

It is quite naive to think china is in any shape or form communist (except for the name). China has become a hardcore capitalist society with its current leader rumored to have accumulated wealth in the double digit billions.

China has been communist only in-name for the past 35 years.

China isn't really a communist country at all, it is much closer to state capitalism.

How is china not communist?

China isn't communist in anything but name, it's national socialist. They've basically copied Italy and Nazi Germany in terms of economic policy

There's nothing communist about China except the state control. The whole equality and sharing is caring thing is missing. It's as capitalist as it gets now, since it was reformed by Deng Xiaoping.

They have outcapitalisted the US, this is how they beat them economically.

China is absolutely not communist, it's probably the most capitalist country nowadays !

It's difficult to take a look at modern China and call it communist with a straight face.

muninn_ | karma 1108 | avg karma 1.26 · | 2018-02-11 00:00:18

China was without a doubt a Communist country.

meri_dian | karma 2587 | avg karma 3.79 · | 2017-09-09 03:26:44+00:00

Communism has nothing to do with it. China is a capitalist nation. They have an authoritarian government that can muster tremendous resources and quickly set them towards it's goals.
