    None of this goes against capitalism. Your definition of communism is “when the government does stuff”.

    All these statistics show me is that China has a capitalist system with a high growth rate and a heavy handed government.

      No, my definition of communism is a country where the working class is in charge. This is very clearly the case in China. It’s also worth noting that all the core industry in China is publicly owned which is not the case in any actual capitalist state.

      Your argument is basically that since China has special economic zones where capitalism is allowed that makes it capitalist. This line of argument is just as absurd as saying that Canada is communist because there’s free healthcare.

      To sum up, China is a country where Marxism-Leninism is the official state ideology, it’s governed by the communist party, vast majority of the population are communists, all the essential economy is state owned, but it’s actually capitalist. Some serious galaxy brain logic there bud.
