See, you have a political "filter" involved in all your thinking. An agenda. Your ideology is in complete control of what you think is "facts" and how you perceive reality.

Hmm. Don't think the label of Communism applies to China any more, despite the name of the ruling party. 'Hyper-capitalist totalitarianism' is more appropriate. Need an expensive life saving drug or operation? Can't afford it? Sorry, go away and die. Not much socialism left there, let alone Communism. In many respects China is now off to the right of the UK.
