Obama's plans are more sinister than becoming communist I'd wager. As far as China, they are ditching Communism anytime soon. Their economy is still largely a result of government control. Their GDP still entails a large portion of government expenditures on construction. At some point China is bound for failure. Information flowing out of China should always be suspect, because what is delivered, has been filtered through the propaganda filters.
That is something Obama has embraced.
Damn iPad keypad. It should read “China isn’t ditching Communism anytime soon”.
