Semantics are very important in any war. As far as I am concerned, they are still Red and Communist. Otherwise, how do we tie them to the murder and starving of over 65 million Chinese and over 1.2 million Tibetan? I'd say 'Because they are mudereous tyrants.' Murdereous tyranny predates Communism by millenia. In no way are they kinder and gentler for having discarded communism, and I think we'd be better off had they not, given the gross ineffeciency of that system. But to call a spade a spade, their government has evolved from brutal communism into brutal fascism.

Steel Wolf, I would highly suggest that you get hold The Black Book of Communism. Communism is different from capitalism. Only Communism has been responsible for over 100 million documented deaths in history and with more to come.
There is absolutely no difference between Communism and Fascism--in turns of results and their common core of Socialism. To start calling the Red Chinese fascist is to negate their horrendous past. This is what they who like the West to do.
