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
Ooooooh, I'm glad there's a thread like this. The kids at my school keep saying that China is an evil communist country thats stealing our money. And I just say "....no."
China is growing, capitalism wise, and the communist side is decreasing.
But this just shows that CAPITALISM IS NEEDED FOR A STRONG ECONOMY.
Yeah right, a strong economy where every big corporation (by far not only american ones) make plants in china with cheap workers and bad working conditions, make a big benefit in their natal country and leave all their waste undisposed of back in china. (Not saying that china is disposing of it's own waste anyway, but still, you get the point). Yay for capitalistic economy -.-
China has some capitalistic attributes - they are less communist than they were in the past.
But there is a distinction also between "communist" which is an economic viewpoint, and "totalitarian" which is an extreme state of government control. The latter applies to China more than the former.
if a chinese company came to the US would that make us communist? no. their "government" allows those companies over into china. the companies do not have anything to do with the governments in which they originated.
well its better hearing someone else say it to me thinking im dumb or something.but people please chines people nothing but losers who think their awesome.
1) that's racist like crazy and rediculously insulting 2)that's not true 3) i've never even heard anyone else say that...pretty sure you just made it up 4)how did you come up with that?
people please china is a placw where you put your nerds.and japan is where you put all those not mentionalbe people their.basically china is a nerd country that has no money.
i'm sorry, but you are really really dumb. 1)they aren't nerds. their education is just stressed way more than in the US or Europe because of all the competition 2)they are the main country lending money to USA...they have PLENTY of money
