Question:

How come everyone tells me that Communism has failed every time it has been tried yet they don't take China into account? China has been Communist for more than 65 years. And China is pretty much an economic powerhouse.


And yes, I do recognize that if I am wrong (Self doubt speaking here) I am wrong. Don't come busting down my door telling me how wrong and s tupid I am.

Answer:

China is anything but Communist, the only thing that makes it Communist is the one-party authoritarian regime.

Step-by-step explanation:

China has a Semi-Capitalist Socialist economy, otherwise known as a "Market Socialist Economy", the same as Vietnam. I have a friend from China that says that being in China is like being in the US. You can purchase goods with money, open private business (although with some government control to some degree), and they can pretty much do anything economically. The only thing holding China right now is their forced labor on its people.
