Ok, Im just going to copy and paste an article on how china is communist for you to argue with

3.1% of China's businesses are owned by the state and roughly 30% of China's GDP is publicly owned.

2018-06-21 08:17:18 UTC  

i.e., the average publicly owned Chinese business is 10x bigger than its private counterpart.

2018-06-21 08:17:35 UTC  

What this means in practice is that China uses SOE's to exert geopolitical power overseas, such as in the case of Ecuador.

2018-06-21 08:17:36 UTC  

30%

2018-06-21 08:17:40 UTC  

That means

2018-06-21 08:17:45 UTC  

But it also means that 70% of the economy is PRIVATELY OWNED.

2018-06-21 08:17:45 UTC  

all the large buisnesses

2018-06-21 08:17:55 UTC  

30% is not even a majority you brainlet.

2018-06-21 08:18:10 UTC  

The majority of the economy is owned privately and the VAST majority of businesses are privately owned.

2018-06-21 08:18:29 UTC  

97% of all businesses in China are privately owned. Think about that.

2018-06-21 08:18:51 UTC  

The Chinese government only uses SOE's to exert geopolitical power overseas. That is pretty much their only reason for existence.

2018-06-21 08:19:01 UTC  

They actually perform poorly compared to privately owned businesses, as expected.

2018-06-21 08:19:17 UTC  

They're funded by the state at expense to the state. Just like any publicly owned business.

2018-06-21 08:19:40 UTC  

Just face it: You have no fucking clue what you're talking about,

2018-06-21 08:19:43 UTC  

Go to sleep.

2018-06-21 08:19:50 UTC  

nearly every chinese bank is state owned (which lets them control a majority of buisnesses)

2018-06-21 08:19:53 UTC  

the media is state owned

2018-06-21 08:20:07 UTC  

BBC is state owned. Is Britain communist?

2018-06-21 08:20:15 UTC  

the land is state owned

2018-06-21 08:20:25 UTC  

State-owned banks are a common feature of developed economies. Guess all tertiary economies are communist.

2018-06-21 08:20:37 UTC  

👌 😂 👌

Politically, China is as Communist as ever. The country operates under the highly centralized, single-party rule of the Communist Party. Every region, whether it's a province or a city, has two sets of leadership: local government functionaries and Communist Party officials. While there is overlap between the two groups—after all, government workers must be Communist Party members—the top local government leader must always answer to the top party leader. The governor of a province might make day-to-day decisions about filling potholes and snow removal, but the party official controls macro decisions like which businesses get state money and prime real estate.

2018-06-21 08:21:24 UTC  

"Politically", yes. I already said multiple times they have a communist ruling government.

2018-06-21 08:21:32 UTC  

Therefore

2018-06-21 08:21:33 UTC  

But to say they're faithful to Marxism is an entirely different thing. They aren't.

2018-06-21 08:21:35 UTC  

they are communist

2018-06-21 08:21:41 UTC  

That is true

2018-06-21 08:21:42 UTC  

No, pay attention to historical context.

2018-06-21 08:21:55 UTC  

theyre not marxist communist

2018-06-21 08:21:56 UTC  

but

2018-06-21 08:21:59 UTC  

they are communist

2018-06-21 08:22:07 UTC  

Mao took power in China from the Nationalist government. The entire legitimacy of the state hinges on socialist revolution, as the Nationalist government still exists in Taiwan.

2018-06-21 08:22:25 UTC  

Communism is explicitly Marxist. You have no fucking clue at all what you're talking about,

2018-06-21 08:22:29 UTC  

it's one hot take after another.

2018-06-21 08:22:38 UTC  

So is china communist?

2018-06-21 08:22:39 UTC  

You are trying to bullshit your way out of this but the truth is you have no clue.

2018-06-21 08:22:41 UTC  

You said its not

2018-06-21 08:22:43 UTC  

I said it is

2018-06-21 08:22:49 UTC  

I copy and pasted an article
