No they have not. China is just as communistic as ever, especially socially and nowadays militarily thanks to our “free trade” with them. Calling them “capitalis(tic) with a vengeance” is like calling Lenin’s New Economic Policy such a thing. Don’t dare think there is private property over there either; and all “billionaires” are apparatchiks devoted to using their wealth to building up the dictatorship (even though it could give them power to destroy it once and for all).
China is not looking out for national interests at all. No imperialistic power does; they are ready to sacrifice nation for expansion. They have been all over Africa for decades and have several puppet states there (Zimbabwe, the Congo and now South Africa among them) and thanks to John Kerry’s absurd declaration of the Monroe Doctrine to be “over”, they are looking at South and Central America too—and that is to say nothing of the swathes of property they have been buying on US soil.
I’m sorry you don’t understand the tactics that the communists are using, aimed at bringing down the USA, that I quoted from Skousen’s book. They are not being used by free-market capitalists.
Oh please! Have you been to China?
People in China own every thing we can own, cars, houses, stocks, businesses, flat screen tvs, etc, etc. This is as far from the basic tenets of communism as you can get.
And yes they try to spread their influence wherever they can, watching out for their perceived national self interests, JUST LIKE WE DO.
