Is China still a communist country?

Answer 1

YES YES YES

Answer 2

It is communist in name only. In economic terms, since 1993, when former Premiere Deng Xiaoping declared that “to get rich is glorious,” China has been going full-tilt capitalist, and hasn't looked back yet. The government is a share-holder in most (if not all) of China's NASDAQ & NYSE listed companies, and China still has some state-run enterprises, but those that are not profitable are gradually being phased out. The Chinese Communist Party calls this "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics." What it means for the Chinese people is that they have to pay cash up-front for everything; public schools, even hospitals won't admit patients without cash payment in advance.

China's move toward capitalism has strained some of its relationships with both North Korea and Cuba.

China's current government could be more accurately described as an oligarchy; a system where a small group within the general population hold the power. With growth rates over 10% for most of the past 10 years, this oligarchy is very firmly in place. The majority of Chinese people are very patriotic and they generally support their government. However, one thing that Chinese people are very strongly against is U.S. interference with their county's politics.

Answer 3

China is what some would call "lunch line" communism. There has never been a true communist country as Karl Marx would have it, but China is the least like a true communist country. They allow free trade and enterprise and there are plenty of people in China that are richer than others something not allowed in communism. I suspect that it will be in our lifetime that China becomes a democracy. I mean if one more McDonald's goes up it will be the next Japan.

Answer 4

With the collapse of Communist rule in Eastern Europe from the late 1980s and the breakup of the Soviet Union on December 8, 1991, communism's influence has decreased dramatically in Europe. However, around a quarter of the world's population still lives in Communist states, mostly in the People's Republic of China.

Answer 5

For all intents and purposes yes but the precise technical answer would have to be "no", because the basic definition of communism no longer applies.

The revised constitution might be said to have brought individualism back and relegated collectivist thinking to a much lower order, at which level this central-planning concept will probably not receive enough official backing to keep it alive for long.

Perhaps the Chinese government will hold onto enough of the other levers of power to make the communist label seem still to be appropriate. However, this will be mainly to keep the country’s vast population under control.

Answer 6

China is officially communist, but starting in 1978 Chairman Deng Xiaoping began economic reforms and was reported as having said, "To get rich is glorious." Today, China remains under communist rule, which means that the government controls Universities, hospitals (health care), power generation, their military, etc,. but it also allows for individual wealth. They simply let their economy change from a planned / government controlled style to a market driven style. Many economists believe this switch may in the end save the China from collapsing like the Soviet Union.

Answer 7

Not in the traditional Communist sense. They do still praise and say that they're Communists, but ever since they took back Hong Kong, they're starting to see how easier it is to run a country with a modified free-enterprise system.

Answer 8

No , China is not still a communist country.

Answer 9

Yes although some recent trends seem to indicate that economic growth and free enterprise might become a reality in the very near future for China.
