China are ABSOLUTLEY communists, just the smarter type
How are they communist? Their economy is obviously heavily based on capitalism, no redistribution of wealth. The only thing that lines up is the promise of socializing in the future? Though I don't believe western politicians nevermind Chinese dictators.
It's just like Hitler's party's name. They said that they are socialists, but in practice it wasn't true at all.
What someone calls themselves and what they actually are don't always match up.
