Here are 3 dumb questions.

1)I have heard some guy is the richest entrepreneur in China. I thought capitalists earned wealth but Marxist Leninists had equality for all the masses. How many such millionaires does China have?

2) I thought there was no reason for Chinese to vote because the winner is “the Communist”,who defeated “the Other Communist”.
What if a non-Communist ran and defeated Xi? How is that prevented? Or is this news merely about voting in Hong Kong only which always results in “do what mainland China tells you, Hong Kong” after the votes are counted?

3) If China has entrepreneur billionaires and millionaires along with downtrodden poor peasants, and China has elections, then how is China different from the U S?

(Not saying I prefer the rotten scum, just asking. Told you it was dumb of me.)

You can be as rich as you want, the trick is getting your money out of China.

Fidel Castro was one of the top twenty wealthiest person in the world when he died.

Socialism is about a few people being very rich and most being very poor.

I thought there was no reason for Chinese to vote because the winner is “the Communist”,who defeated “the Other Communist”. What if a non-Communist ran and defeated Xi? How is that prevented? Or is this news merely about voting in Hong Kong only which always results in “do what mainland China tells you, Hong Kong” after the votes are counted?

It would not be allowed. This news about voting in Hong Kong is ONLY about Hong Kong because when the Chi-Coms took it over from the UK it was with stipulations.

3) If China has entrepreneur billionaires and millionaires along with downtrodden poor peasants, and China has elections, then how is China different from the U S?

So did the USSR.

Does that answer your questions?

1. China is no longer actually economically communist. Since the reforms of Deng Xiaoping the nation has actually become somewhat capitalist, while finding a way to remain politically communist. Overall, “communist” is not a good way to think of China. “Fascist” might actually be closer to the truth, though “dictatorship” is really the best.

2. Elections in Hong Kong are different. Under the “One Country, Two Systems” model established in 1999, there is a form of actual democracy in Hong Kong, and these district-level municipal elections are the MOST democratic of all the elections which take place anywhere in China. These elections were for people who do things like set bus routes, plan for garbage pickup, that kind of very local political activity.

3. The vast, vast majority of China does not have elections which are like those of Hong Kong (again, due to the One Country, Two Systems model). In the whole rest of the country you are correct, the choice is between Communist Party member A and Communist Party member B. Hong Kong is very different from the rest of China.
