That said, their one-party political system remains what it is. It doesn't make sense to call it capitalism or communism at this point. They refer to their own economic model as "market socialism."

Not to be mistaken with the independent and democratic Republic of China, otherwise known as Taiwan. There is no private businesses in china all people and businesses work for the betterment of the communist party (mandated to do such).Johnny F.

And yes, we agree that there is no freedom there. <br />I live in Greece, I shouldn't care where anyone prints anything BUT I always prefer to buy RPG books printed in the USA. The reason is simple; the probability that a worker in the US will be a minor, will work 18 hours straight or will be paid enough just to not die from starvation is extremely low while in China is almost certain. <br />Every time I buy something I make a choice more important than the obvious - I choose a tiny segment of my future. If my only concern is to buy something cheap then tomorrow I might be the cheapest option. <br />So yes, guys, do whatever you can to stop your favourite companies from printing in places where people live like slaves...

China will do a lot, if not most things, for money especially if it continues to undermine Western industry. However, they are a communist nation. There is no freedom of speech, press or anything else in the police state. At anytime the CCP could decide it does not like your product and that could financially ruin that party. Support your home country. Every time you do business with China you are rolling the dice.Johnny F.
