There are billionaires and very poor, rural peasants in China. I would say it is communist in terms of political structure but hardly in economical terms.
Honeslty I think the US should be more concered with China than Iraq.

I wonder where the idea of China's population, as a whole, being tainted came from. That's bordering very, very close to racism and xenophobia. No one has come up with a valid example of communism that's being displayed and that's drastically affecting people in a negative way. The original argument, and topic, has been shot down.

And that fountain of misconceptions needs to be vaporized.
Do you honestly think that China is a communist country from a political and economic standpoint? You think that everyone gains mutually from the system?

Shanda even tested the self-developed anti-addiction system on its "World of Legend" online game, which did not produce any significant impact on operations or revenues, Li said.
What the hell? dont they realize i WANT to be addicted to some games, why the hell else would i even play??

And again we are seeing here, its all about the money, not about the gamers/community.

Bullshit

Kind of like Castro's Cuba. Any country can say their communist, but none really are in practice.
