I challenge anyone to make an actual factual argument with evidence of Chinese communism. China is de facto a state capitalist system, and it has far more in common with national socialisms/fascism than it does communism. Even the Chinese constitution explicitly and boldly defines the CCP and the Chinese system as a whole as "socialism with Chinese characteristics".
The Chinese allow parallel operation of mixed market capitalism and free enterprise with major government intervention to 'guide' the economy as they see fit. Sound familiar? That's exactly what we do here in the United States, except we have different priorities and a different level of 'guidance'. China's system closely resembles how things operated in Fascist Germany-- healthy free enterprise activity, but heavy state participation in certain industries that are relevant to the state's strategic plan, and regulation of industries and activities deemed "parasitic" such as market speculation, excessive usury and the like.
This is why China has been so effective both at fostering immense economic growth and luring foreign investment, while simultaneously manipulating their currency and stealing Western intellectual property for use in home-grown, state-sponsored enterprises.
I think the confusion in this thread is yet another hilarious result of major deficits in US education regarding foreign countries. We got people making it to 2020 posting in this thread still thinking China is communist because no-one ever told them otherwise. lol

I've seen you say some shit that I think must be trolling. But, this here is on the mark. I've seen much more compelling arguments suggesting that China is fascist than communist.
The only aptitude that the aspiring Kulaks in this thread possess is the ability to lick a boot while it is on their necks. Sad, honestly...
