The stranglehold of this European ideology, enforced "at the point of the gun" by the psychotic Mao, is an unnatural situation for China. But, rather than seeing it collapse, as it did in Russia, we are seeing it gradually dissipate, which is more-or-less how things happen in China. The next generation of communist leadership recently began to take over, moving the country one step closer to what we will see when they have finally thrown off the FOREIGN Maoist influence over the next decade or two. (America, too, is evolving away from this poisonous and archaic Marxist/Leninist influence, with that trend having been accelerated, first by the Clinton disaster of corruption, then by the effective leadership of the Bush administration. The left is dying here, at a faster pace.)
