<p>... i.e. shanghai, beijing are economic centers..</p>
<p>??? WHat are you talking about? Im not very familiar with communist countries but I know the basics and just because a country thrives economically doesnt mean anything! Do you know anything about communism???? Please enlighten me with your superior knowledge my liege.</p>
<p>it's hardly communist anymore... in a communist society all property would belong to state, in addition there would be no free choice of religion... seeing as how in china, there are business buildings, corporate property* and 2 different 'main' religions, i hardly consider china to be communist</p>
<p>post the "great cultural revolution" the idea of communism in china failed horribly, the conversion to a capitalist/democratic society accounts for the increase in economic prosperity...</p>
