Technically China is officially communist. However there are a lot of American capitalist stores and factories there. Mcdonald's is becoming a big hit there, and if you watched the two year old special that came on last night on CNBC then you know what I'm talking about lol.

Anyway, if China is really communist why is there McDonald's, KFC, etc. And American factories there owned by American companies and NOT owned by the Chinese government.

These are just SOME examples mind you, so the question is... is China really flourishing economy wise because of communism? Or is it the American capitalism that is giving all of them jobs? Yes, they are payed VERY little if you're talking about factories. However the people who work in the businesses such as again McDonald's are payed decent wages.

Is Chinese capitalism becoming a new trend? And is that why they're doing so well? (stereotypically) The reason I said that in parenthesis is because China still has a lot of poor cities and villages.

Am I saying "ZOMGZ CAPITALISM IS PERFECT!"? no I'm not. I believe quite the opposite. But this just shows that CAPITALISM IS NEEDED FOR A STRONG ECONOMY. Any pure stand is bad, and I think this shows that mixed stands are what's really good for people. (In my opinion capitalism with socialized health care, medicine and other stuff that should be given out of morality.) And big businesses SHOULD be restricted and all that.... I'm rambling here, I just wanted to put it out there that Communism isn't perfect, and neither is capitalism, or socialism, or marxism, or any ism lol. In my opinion mixed is the best way to go.

Anyone else agree?

somethings I said here may not have made sense, and feel free to call me out on it so I can proofread and defend myself

When you have to say this before you state your point. It's probably better that you don't say it.

My opinion is that China is neither. Their system is a mix of both with some unique features.

A Communist society can also be Capitalist...

the two terms refer to completely different subjects, China is what could be referred to as 'Outwardly Capitalist' where-as everything inside the country is owned and operated by the government but yet they use the free trade market and full control over their interior market to gain advantage in a capitalist marketplace.

China's central financial institution once again bumped up the level of cash reserves the nation's banks must hold. The move is a try to curb Chinese inflation that is emerging as a serious threat to a global economy reliant on cheap Chinese exports. Donald Trump, who has suckered the media into believing he may run for president, has offered a solution to Chinese rising prices that involves a 25 percent tariff on Chinese imports, a suggestion that has been universally debunked by people who know something about such subjects. I found this here: <a title="China rising prices anticipated to raise prices worldwide" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2011/04/18/china-inflation-threatens-global-growth/">China struggles to curb inflation that threatens global growth</a>

Most countries are a mix of the two nowadays. China is just 80% communist 20% capitalist. USA is 20% communist and 80% capitalist. Europe would be around 50:50. Pure capitalism would fail just as hard as pure communism finding the right balance is the key.
