The leader, I don't know if it's a president or what, is Hu Jintao.
They are still a communistic government.
China is actually now called, "The People's Republic of China".
So if you went to wikipedia.org and typed in China, you wouldn't get immediate info, you'd have to type in "The People's Republic of China".

While the People's Republic of China is regarded as a communist state by many political scientists, simple characterizations of China's political structure are controversial.[ The PRC government has been variously described as authoritarian, communist, and socialist, with heavy restrictions remaining in some areas, most notably on the internet and in the press. At the same time, China is slowly becoming capitalist in its economic system.[ The country is ruled under the Constitution of the People's Republic of China. Its imcumbent Paramount Leader is President Hu Jintao and premier is Wen Jiabao with people's congress and Communist Party of China.
Hu Jintao is President of PRCThe country is mainly run by the Communist Party of China (CPC), but there are other political parties in the PRC, referred to in China as "democratic" parties which participate in the People's Political Consultative Conference, while serving mainly to endorse CPC policies. There have been some moves toward political liberalisation, in that open contested elections are now held at the village and town levels and that legislatures have shown some assertiveness from time to time; however, the Party retains effective control over governmental appointments. This is because, in the absence of meaningful opposition, the CPC wins by default in most electorates.[The CPC has been enforcing its rule by clamping down on political dissidents while simultaneously attempting to reduce dissent by improving the economy and allowing public expression of personal grievances so long as they are not organized. Current political concerns in China include lessening the growing gap between rich and poor, and fighting corruption within the government leadership The support that the Communist Party of China has among the Chinese population in general is unclear because there are no consistently contested national elections Also, private conversations and anecdotal information often reveal conflicting views. However, according to a survey conducted in Hong Kong, where a relatively high level of freedom is enjoyed, the current CPC leaders have received substantial votes of support when residents were asked to rank their favourite Chinese leaders from the mainland and Taiwan.[
For much of China's history, the state had been ruled by some form of centralized imperial monarchy, which was followed by a chaotic succession of largely authoritarian Chinese Nationalist governments as well as warlord-held administrations since the last few years of the Qing Dynasty in 1912.
