While I think all of the criticisms of China that everyone has commented are absolutely valid, I also think that China is not in a position to transition to a communist mode of production. One part is lack of political will for it, and that will require the people of china to clamor for it, but the other part is that China is still very dependent on commodity production for the western states. I think they are making the right moves by building up economies of 3rd world countries, as that will ease the necessity of the west, but as long as they are a strongly export based economy, they are stuck. Moreover, as the country moves towards automation and exporting that automation, they are coming up to an unexplored precipice. And while we, from the outside, can just say 'communism can handle it', From the position of the government it's probably a very concerning moment where the wrong move opens you up to being cannibalized by the capitalists or a color revolution. China is in a precarious position, and they are chipping away at the problems slowly. I hope that they are making the right choices given the information they have.
