But, in general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.

~Karl Marx, "On the Question of Free Trade" - January 9, 1848

2) Build a strong and unbeatable army.
3) Invade your neighbors.

"Three Represents" -- meaning that the Communist Party of China must always represent the development of China's advanced productive forces, the orientation of China's advanced culture andthe fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in China.

Gee wiz, sounds a lot like the "Three Wisdoms" from The Draogn's Fury Series

"Deng Xiaoping Theory showed in a systematic way how an economically backward country like China could build a socialist society, " says the article.

Looks to me as if they're building a capitalist society.
