    Exactly. Best case, the PRC is working towards socialism and has a good argument that a communist state could not survive in current material conditions.

    Worst case, they are a social democratic state opposed to US hegemony.

    Either way, why would anyone who is on the left be supporting what is clearly a build up to a new cold war?

        Exactly. Plus people act like there's been no changes to Chinese politics over the last 30 years, even though Hu Jintao and Xi have both reasserted the authority of the party over business interests and, particularly over the last 10 years, embarked on a campaign to root out corruption of party officials with ties to business interests.

        Neither Hu Jintao or Xi Jinping are "Dengists."
