All rights reserved in spite of flash's blatherings, today's China is definitely a good sight MORE capitalistic than the entire West , without exceptions. there is no political freedom in China ( yet ) , but there definitely IS economic freedom. as far as i'm concerned, economic freedom is higher up on my values scale as it were. after all, as we know , 'democracy' is largely about 2 wolves and a sheep deciding what's going to be for dinner. has anyone noticed a difference when voting out one party and voting in another? because i haven't. they all expand the state and its powers, and true liberty has long ago bit the dust in the overpowering molasses of the welfare/warfare state. at least in China an entrepreneur can do his thing without much interference. in Europe you have to be crazy to open a new business...the bureaucracy probably kills 70% of them on the spot with its red tape and outrageous taxes.
