Looking through some of the more political Olympic based questions and answers, it seems that there are still people out there linking China with Communist.
It is true that they still profess themselves to be Communist. But if you still call it a communist country, then your ignorant is atrocious. You either don’t know what China is like now, or that you don’t know what Communism is, or both.
So stop throwing the terms “communism” or “communist” around. Your tiny minds cannot even comprehend what these concepts encompass.
And stop dissing China, the Chinese people or the Chinese government on frivolous grounds. Your tiny minds have no clue as to the lives of ordinary Chinese people and their attitudes towards the CCP.
Who Thinks The Olympics Host China Is Still A Communist Country?

China is becoming more open towards capitalism. But ultimately, the Chinese Government will remind communist. It is the ONLY way to govern the largest population in the world. If the government are soft about their policies, then there is no doubt that the country will be in chaos and disorder.
There is absolutely no nations in the world that has the right to criticize China on how to govern its citizen. They simply do not (and never will) understand how difficult it is to maintain order and peace for 1.3 billion people.
Peace.
LMAO for ironic post of the year.
Anyone who lumps together the viewpoint of an entire nation based on what they read on yahoo answers is perhaps themselves the very best definition of ignorant.
Bravo Jimmy C – you sure exemplify the “opposite” of a tiny mind.
Actually you’re the one who doesn’t know what communism is.
The economic system is only one small part of the picture. Communist China may have discarded a command economy in favor of a market economy but the political system remains unchanged.
Classic Marxist notions such as the “leading role of the people’s party” and “democratic centralism” remain very much in force. Contempt for “bourgeois liberalism” is unabated.
Communist economic policy varied greatly amongst self defined communist countries even at the height of communist power worldwide but the constant and unchanging core was the political system.
Its that political core that makes China as Communist today as it was before the fall of the Gang of Four.
I have no idea where you learned about communism but I studied it under a professor from the University of Warsaw School of Law taking such courses as “Concepts of Socialist Legality”. My professor was a member in good standing of the Komunistyczna Partia Polski.
Further, I was personally acquainted with both Gus Hall, leader of the Communist Party USA and Norman Thomas, six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.
EDIT: Anyone who thinks that china is no longer Stalinist had better be ready to explain that to Wu Dianyuan and Wang Xiuying, two ladies in their late 70′s.
The Beijing police sentenced these two harmless old women to an extrajudicial term of “re-education through labor†this week for applying to hold a legal protest in a designated area in Beijing, where officials promised that Chinese could hold demonstrations during the Olympic Games.
They are only the most recent victims of the repressive regime which has arrested and/or brutalized every Chinese citizen who was naive enough to believe the assurances of the regime and to make legal application for permission to demonstrate in the designated areas during the games.
Apparently they had all forgotten the perfidious trap launched by the tyrant Mao with his “let a thousand schools of thought contend” ploy. [If you don't know what this refers to then you should be studying Chinese political history and not making comments about it].
YES I THINK SO!!!!
China isn’t any form of government per se.
They’re running the economical strong points like capitalists… only certain issues can be solved democratically… and yes some issues are authoritarianly handled..
Whatever it is..its working….. you don’t go from 3rd world country in ruins, to an economic/military/technology powerhouse in 15 years by a faulty government system
If China is still a communist country, then communism is the best political system. Don’t give communism more credit it deserves.
There’s no doubt that it still is, but they’ve gotten a lot better. Their government is communist but their economy isn’t.
lol “principals”

Chinese government is communist. Entire china (except Hong Kong and Macau) is govern by the communist party. But there economy is mixed.
China is still a Communist country. They are just using the Olympics to put on a “FRONT” for the world to see just like Germany did back in 1936…
what?? they are communist…hong kong is…er..was free-market exception but the rest of country is run on marxist principals. I’m pretty sure there pretty communist down to the rural town level where resources are split among people with certain benefits going to party members and people the state deems to be valuable to their society. in fact the chinese gymnast who win gold get houses awarded to them from their government. how are they not communist?
Communist Party of China is still the ruling political party and is still the world’s largest political party. With that being said, China is still officially a Communist country however it isn’t what most people think.
Western education doens’t allow people to truly understand what “communism” means and most Americans are too ignorant to find out what modern communism implies in China for themselves. Even though communism is a vital and integral part of China’s history and structure, people live a democratic and capitalistic life. I’ve been to China once but it’s pretty apparant that life there is nothing like it is described by the western media.
To answer your question. I do, but not in the negative sense that most others think. China is still cmmunistic on paper and in structure but no way is it anything like communism like during Stalin’s days.
Only thing about Chinese government is still communist is the CONTROL for their selfish benefit and money that come with it.
Communist idea is those who do the work should get the rewards.
I believe that we cannot really use either Communist or Capitalist to describe China today, as it is it’s own unique system…
Whether one likes it or not, it proved that it work for China, at least for the past 30 years….
“Your tiny minds have no clue as to the lives of ordinary Chinese people and their attitudes towards the CCP. ”
How can we know what their attitudes are?
They have no freedom of speech
they have no freedom of the press
they censor the internet
they have no right to protest
So its impossible for us to know what the chinese people think about their dictator
You are the ignorant one. China IS communist. In the 1970s though Deng Xiaoping opened SOME parts of China up to act as capitalists in order to compete in the global economy. China as a whole though is still communist.
PS. Your choice of words makes you sound like a fool
“your ignorant is atrocious”
Well done… You obviously answered your own question. I stand in awe of your question…
I agree wiht yuo on stop dissing China…People these days got to judge the chinese by wt the goverment does..China this ad China that..and wt ws the China living in “stoneage”i bet that little boy that said that was using a library computer …cause he was in stoneage lOl…People got to learn to stop dissin onpeople and cutlure
Wow, this is an odd question. Of course China is not a communist country in the sense of a strict adherence to the ideology first laid down by Marx and subsequently modified by Lenin and Mao, but to deny that communism still represents a significant influence on the Chinese political system is extraordinarily ignorant.
They’re a one-party state but a completely capitalist state as well.
If the Chinese Communist Party was to rename itself the Capitalist Party, the American media would have fits trying to paper over such a glaring example of one-party-government in a “free enterprise” country. It’s used to saying that capitalism = democracy.
There are still communist and socialist countries in the world, but China isn’t one of them. Just a one-party state.
insulting people does not make u a better person.
anyway, if u stick to the defination of “communism”, then there isn’t one single country that is coummunism on Earth.
China is more like an under-developed republic, chinese elect representatives, and the representatives vote for the chairman. it doesn’t work too well, because the system is not well-developed.
side info: US isn’t democracy, it is republic.
I’m not trying to be ignorant because I really am not sure,but isn’t the Chinese GOVERNMENT communist?
I don’t go around calling Chinese people communists,and I hate it when people say that because it’s disgusting and pathetic
LOL China is communist? Thats really funny. Chinese government said they are still communist its because they don’t want to loose thier face. In fact, China is capitalist now (and authoritarian). I wonder that how many peopel are still living in stoneage? haha
You guys are brainwashed by US media. You will be surprised how capitalized it is in China nowadays. It is not just economy, but even politically, it is not pure communism anymore. Everyone has their eyes on money in China, from common citizen to government officers.
There are poverty in remote rural area, but it has nothing to do with communism, it is just the country is too big and the economy cannot catch up. But even in these area, if you talk about common property and everything are shared, the locals will think you are crazy because these ideas are gone for many many years.
The Chinese system is
AUTHORITARIAN STATE-CONTROLLED CAPITALISM
I’m Chinese but i can’t answer your question.
i don’t care what kind of society we are,i care only for people’s life,for the prosperity of China.
if China is able keep developing rapidly and people’s life become better and better , I can even accept a king to control the country.
Don’t fool yourself, China is a communist police state and a terrorist country. If you disagree then so are you.
Check this photo out of one of Chinese torch thugs stepping on a Tibetan protester:
