Communism In China
Will Communism ever fall in China, and if so, when will it likely happen?
Many politicians and average members of the international society ponder this question. I personally dislike Communists, and I do believe that Communism will one day be driven away from China. But of course, the process of making China a democracy, or creating a government closer to a democracy will take time, and lots of it in my opinion. The current problem is, although there are those that oppose Communism/Socialism/Marxism in China, there is little freedom of speech/press/assembly. The government and all government related organizations have a very strong hold over the media, the press, and all other publications or periodicals that may affect the general public's view of Communism, or in other words, the Chinese government. Propaganda is huge in China, the media especially, it strategically makes the people notice only the pros and not the cons of Communism. I don't mean that there is absolutely nothing positive about Communists, I'm sure they do mean to help the society, it's just that the cons outweigh the pros, and there is too much corruption in the government. The main reason the Communists have been able to get a hold of the government in China is because there are so many people living in poverty in the rural areas. Socialism/Communism I'm sure you know is mainly meant to help the poor and in a sense, "bring down" the wealthy. They want a bigger middle class, and that isn't exactly happening right now in China. In some parts of the country and the government, it's a bit like a plutocracy, the rich get all the benefits and the poor are discriminated and get poorer, especially those from rural areas. Sectionalism is strong in China. Possibly, this (which is the opposite of Communism and not what the "people" want) can trigger a coup, or something of the sort. The Communists in China rely on gratitude and support, almost "worship" of the people, supposedly because of their efforts to reform the country, and if that fails, they severely limit and control the actions and rights of the people. For the most part, because of the propaganda and the harsh punishments, this doctrine works. But certainly there are those that still oppose Communism and speak for Democracy in China.

All the youth think Communism is wonderful, so let's check in with the world's premiere Communist power: China. People are so alive, so caring over there -- check out what happens when a 2-year-old toddler is struck by a van in a busy market. How many people do you think will walk by -- see -- and completely ignore the dying child? Ref. Source 3
