That's disgusting...
China has a vibrant economy because it is presently CINO (Communist in name only). They have given up attempting to control the economy, which has been wildly successful as a result. Therefore, by definition, they are no longer truly totalitarian. And since the very definition of communism, as opposed to other systems of government, is that it eliminates the market, China is no longer Communist in any meaningful sense of the term.
He/she went on with this drivel, but thats the jist of it.
