[quote=APAULT,38350]I would suggest that China is neither communist nor socialist. There are more services for the poor and needy in most western countries (excluding the USA, probably). I include in that Australia where our soon to be ex-prime minister heads an extremely right wing government but we still have many of these sevices even after his cutbacks. As for business, it seems to me that Chinese businesses can treat their staff however they like. There are many many more regulations on business practice in all developed countries. Then there are policies which blatantly favour the rich - in one I am familiar with no new motorcycles are permitted but there is no restriction on cars. I believe bicycles are also being banned from some city centres, but not cars. Is this socialism. I do understand the history that leads us to this position, but in the meantime what Serena says are simply the words of The Party - it seeks a socialist society as a stepping stone to a communist society. But at the moment it is a long way off being socialist and even heading in the opposite direction from communism. As for the harmonious society... well that makes a good topic for young people to debate. I am not saying that what the government is doing is wrong.... I am saying it is wrong to describe it as socialism or communism.[/quote]
