China is "communist" in name only, but they are still a one-party totalitarian state, which is a big reason liberal democracies and "communist" countries weren't friends in the first place. In fact, if "the state/people own the means of production" had been the only aspect of communism (and not the totalitarian dictatorial governments), I doubt the Cold War would've been as serious.
