A very little bit. > >It can't be communism if they encorage capitalism can it ? They are not encouraging capitalism in lieu of their brand of communism. They are trying out pieces of it. Their field test site is usually the area next door to Hong Kong. If something works, they move it to Shanghia. I am assuming that the pieces that merge nicely with their political methods will creep throughout its economy. These people do everything solidly. I saw a road being constructed. They dug down to the bedrock and then built the road up. This isn't done in "Western" places anymore. Too expensive and labor intensive. /BAH

Most people, (except it seems our current Demcocrat leadership), in this country are highly allergic to throwing away our Constitution. To transfer states' powers to the Federal government is unconstitutional and requires extraordinary circumstances and legal actions to do so. /BAH |
