That is very easily argueable.

I am not certain, but I would bet that Canada has higher percentage of the GDP going for social welfare programs than China does, which to me is the best way to measure how 'socialistic' a state is.

To: Always Right
If you want to discuss something and then quote me, please do not do so out of context. Im not trying to debate your comparrison of China to Canada because I have never really given any thought to such a topic. However, what I stated as being argueable is as I pointed out the first time.

"That is very easily argueable. Simply because China is not a totaltarian state and while they have very little protection for human rights, that is on the slow rise along with the standard of living"
