there are no communists in power in china

That's about the most idiotic thing I've read to date..

They aren't Communists, but they call themselves that..

You seem to lack an understanding of how party politics work in a totalitarian state. The entrenched Maoist elite have a lot at stake and there's no doubt many of them would enjoy seeing reforms fail in China. They are just waiting in the wings to exploit any failure by those who seek capitalist reforms.

And just a few years ago, in 2008, there was a power struggle that threatened to remove Wen Jiabao:

China's most popular politician Wen Jiabao, the prime minister, has become a target for Communist party hardliners and could be forced from office, according to an influential magazine in Hong Kong.
