How are they communist? Their economy is obviously heavily based on capitalism, no redistribution of wealth. The only thing that lines up is the promise of socializing in the future? Though I don't believe western politicians nevermind Chinese dictators.

I love how Westerners are just regular politicians, but Chinese people are dictators here. You know, when Mao made mistakes he was democratically pushed out while local elections were still running. I don't understand why you mention no redistribution of wealth, however, because China is known for massive infrastructure projects, poverty alleviation, and constant quality of life improvements. That's more redistribution than I see in the entirety of Europe, and this same Chinese "dictator" is the reason we might be able to save this planet from ecological death.
