Largely after abandoning damaging communist ideas and allowing private business to exist.
China is no longer communist, it's this weird hybrid of capitalism with heavy government controls and heavy censorship.

- croissants 2y agoYeah, The Economist regularly writes these articles that spend half the time praising the intense competition in certain sectors of the economy and half the time bemoaning the influence of state-owned enterprises (or other CCP instruments) in others. It seems to vary a lot by specific industry.
