A Chinese mother discovers although she escaped China; she did not escape communism.
She's escaping capitalism and cronyism. China is far more dog-eat-dog capitalist than the US. In China, if you don't work, you don't eat*. But the cronyism is something to behold.
* The Communist Party is just a placeholder name today. Back in the day, the party decided where you lived, where you worked, what you wore, what you ate, and so on. Now everyone has to figure out these things on his own. Residences were handed over to their occupants to live in, rent or sell. Work units were disbanded. Ration cards for cloth (for sewing into garments) and food were eliminated, and cash became the principal means of acquiring things. All of this starting in 1979. As of 2013, Chinese per capita output (a proxy for income) was 67x what it was in 1979, compared to India's 7x. Once the party stopped paying people to sit around doing nothing, but letting them make money and keep that money, they got off their butts and started making all kinds of things, ranging from nuts and bolts at Home Depot to DVD players at Best Buy.
