I'm not implying that china is communist. AFAIK I did not state that in my comments.

yea i figured. just wanted to make sure ๐Ÿ‘

government intervention in free markets is antithetical to capitalism.

all the countries i mentioned have/had corporate taxes

still disqualifies the country from being capitalist.

oof so by that definition, are there any capitalist countries right now? has it ever been tried and succeeded so far? if any intervention in the free market makes a country no longer capitalist, i mean.
