So according to Xankaa -- there basically never was any such thing as communism and every country is capitalist. The term "communism" is entirely theoretical and has never existed in the world.
Capitalism is so watered-down as to mean essentially nothing. A country that exchanges goods? Capitalist. What if they are entirely controlled by their government and there are virtually no property rights? Capitalist.
What if the entire country is ran by a political party that demands ideological testing on Marxist principals -- totally capitalist.
Rich Chinese people are buying property for 2 reasons:
1) it's smart for long term investiment...unless your the gambling type and think you can make better returns faster -- hard to beat real estate
2) Their fucking smart (you have to be to succeed in the Chinese economy) and realize its in their personal interest to get out of the communist controlled China and into a capitalist cuck country that my grandchildren can lord over like they own the place.
Edit: Free trade zones are arranged by the central government...its essentially using low quality labor force to maximum use for the good of the central ruling population. But it is all bureaucratic and controlled by the government...they let the private interest run their own compaines now...thats the big difference from now and early 1900s...
