Speaking as educated Economist, I'll say again what I've told you before, the economic system in China can no longer be described as "communist" as they are embracing Capitalism. It is still a totalitarian government but they are switching their economic model from communism to capitalistic as fast as they can with a socialist superstructure. They are fostering entrepreneurship as a way to grow their economy and keep their people working. . . But make no mistake, they are not a republic, nor are they democratic in any way. They run their government in a totalitarian way.
We must recognize that the paradigm of communist, centralized soviet, economic control of the means of production just does NOT exist in modern China anymore and we cannot continue to think of them that way as you do. WAKE UP! Recognize their government's Totalitarian nature, but add to it the engine of a Capitalist Economy that knows how to wield economic weaponry!
THAT can be a truly formidable enemy, one that the old Soviet Union could never have been because they were too inflexible, wedded to their ideology and myths of Marxist superiority. The Chinese are not. They are pragmatic. They'll do what works. . . but they still want power!
We will never defeat them by thinking they are still what they were twenty years ago. China has changed. China always changes.
“... the economic system in China can no longer be described as “communist” as they are embracing Capitalism.”
Bingo. The top layer of communism is simply only a control layer that is being “corrupted” by capitalism. :-)
Anything you say, comrade.
