is china a comunist or not comunist a site that explains fully would help?

Answer 1

China is not communist

China considers itself socialistic, but it is nowhere near that. Socialism is defined as all markets are owned and controlled by the state. In the past that was true as 100% of the businesses were state run. Now it is less then 30% and more and more of that is handed over to private enterprise. China has a country wide free market system. Anyone can participate in it, including myself.

Religious freedom. With the exception of handing out literature on the streets, and having to register with the government, China enjoys 100% religious freedom. That is guaranteed by law. Looking at the states, while any religion can hand out literature, all religions must register with the government in order to get tax exempt status. (Falong Gong was trying to install a system of government that does not exist in China. If a religion does that actively in the states, they would lose tax exempt status) A recent survey in China found that 1/3 of the people consider themselves religious, far more then the country admitted before. Most of them are Buddhist, with Muslims and Christians making up a small percentage.

Henry Kissinger, as well as many others says that China is communist in name only. Even Reuters, a month ago said in the lead paragraph of a China article that China is communist in name only.

There is an election system up to the province level. China has low keyed elections that are not country wide. Each province has elections at different times. In another words, no election season. The provinces are also autonomous and Beijing does not have the strangle hold on the provinces nearly as much as the west thinks. China also has a representative system where the representatives are elected at the provinces to represent the people there. From there the president of China is elected by their form of legislature. Much like in England and other governments around the world.

Also, while it is true it is a one party system with a few minor parties controlled by the majority one, nevertheless, China now allows non party members to hold office as high as mayor. While at this time that is rare, it was only a few years ago that was unheard of.

China is slowly moving towards a truly representative democratic system at their own pace, not the pace the instant gratifiers want in the west. China is smart enough to understand that instant change can have a big negative impact on society as well as the country. After all, China has gone through 5,000 years of dictatorial rule and it is only in the last 20 to 30 years that China has taken an active lead in changing that. We have all seen what instant change can do in two countries that have never had democracy.

It's time to give China credit for moving in the right direction, instead of continually bashing her.

What most people know of China would fit in a thimble, what most people THINK they know would fit in a barrel.

China is much of what you want her to be and little of what you think she is.

I know, I live here as an ex pat from the USA in the heart of China. I used to believe all the China bashing till I saw up close that most of it is either blown way out of proportion, based on old facts and assumptions, or outright lies.

Answer 2

Any country which would have any "leftist triumph" would call themselves "Communist, or Socialists." Communism is not a political system, rather to say, communism is an ideology. In brief, Communism helps to implement social services. (such as, the welfare institution here in USA) In addition, I never been in china to write a precise, concise, genuine critic, and respond to your question. I am sincere, I don't follow others opinions, I rather follow what I feel, smell, touch, see, and hear.
