I think the PRC has already moved on from communism, they just can’t say so. They are more of an old-fashioned military dictatorship now with a thin velvet glove of “The party” over the iron fist.
A true communist state would not have an economy that is even close to market driven.
Islam is frozen in time. Root for the government of the PRC on this one.
Good post, yours. Today’s ChiComs have moved away from Marxist nonsense to a capitalist/fascist reality. But as you noted, this cannot be acknowledged publicly. So let’s all wave the red flag now and again.
On the other hand, Islam is routed in a rigid, submit-or-die philosophy. They have not budged one inch in the last 1500 years. Submit or die.
