Supporters of the Chinese ''Communist'' Party have nothing to stand on, except die-hard nationalism and radical chauvinism. China was never socialist and will never be a communist society. Stalinism died in China when Deng Xiaoping created the special economic zones around 1980. More capitalist reforms came in the 1990's and by 2013, most products of the western world are produced by low-paid workers in Chinese factories. 75 billionaires are members of the ruling Chinese ''Communist'' Party. Also the capitalist revolution has created a wealthy upper class of 1 million millionaires. These new rich live on the exploitation of Chinese workers. 800 million people in the PRC are poor and forced to work on a very low salary. Meanwhile the CCP bureaucracy and the new bourgeoisie, are stealing all the wealth the working class produces. This is why a socialist revolution is needed to crush capitalism and the criminal CCP!
Here we publish a time line of the capitalist reforms in the
People's Republic of China since 1978.
The time line has been produced by the
Center for Strategic and International Studies!
