is communist, so they fear that if China continues to strengthen its ideology, it will eventually

The truth is that China is not communist.since the private sector has a strong presence and
there is ample room for market forces. But if it were communist., would it not imply that
communism is an excellent socio-economic system?Putting it in another way, either China is

Politically, China is a "One Party State", with limitations on numerous freedoms. But this
does not make it a communist country. If that were the case.then Pinochet's Chile would have
been communist, not to mention monarchies like Saudi Arabia. Those should be labeled as
"One Family States" but never, for that reason.communist.
In the West, the propagandistic logic is as follows. "Communism is bad.. China is
communist, therefore, China is bad." That line of thinking has been soaked into the hearts and
minds of millions of people around the world , creating scenarios for the US to justify
aggressive economic and military attitudes against China and, eventually, new wars (and new
benefits for the politicians and businessmen who profit from them).
