Is China a Communist country ? Yes ? Let me laugh...
China is a State-Capitalist country. It has nothing to do with Communism.
Communism ? Communism was an idea of Karl Marx during the I9th Century. "Religion is the opium of the people". This was an all-I9th Century matter, of a European living in Germany in a specific condition. Now, the appropriate slogan should be "New Economical Order : Opium of the People". Even Fidel Castro in Cuba understood that religion is nothing to be afraid of, himself being converted to christianism during the '90s and opened his country to other religions.
China is a State-Capitalism country. Communism implies reforms in agriculture, education available freely for everyone, a free health-care system and everyone being equal. China ? Education is propaganda, the health-care system.. never heard of it being a state-of-the-art one, agriculture ? Communism implies the end of human exploitation by human. China ??? China is one of the most ruthless system.
And my position in all this ? I'm a social-democrat or a socialist (socialism implies democracy, but nowadays you have to specify it). My position about China ? There is no leftie one, even the Communists (who are the most radical in the left part, before the anarchos of course) would say to you that China has nothing to do with Communism. Mao ? Perfect and admirable in theory. In practice ? An opportunist.
Che Guevara, perhaps one of the most well-known person (outside the USA maybe), a genuine Communist who understood that Marx was reffering to the XIXth Century, lost his illusion with China.
In my opinion, anyone dealing with China is perfect for life-prison. I don't suggest a blocus, like the onces imposed on Cuba or Irak, because a blocus is a coward act and a crime against humanity, but the Chinese people is able to change itself. Mr. Bush is going to China next week. Is the USA model a model for all the world ? Surely not. Nor is the "Communism" of China.
