Can China survive another 50 years being a Communist State?

China is biding her time.  She has been around for thousands of years.  She stays under the radar, but will assist the states who support the immediate radicals like Hezbollah until the radical Islamics burn out and fail their intentions for domination.  China wants to take over the world.  She will wait generations for the tide to turn in her favor.

The emergence of China as a world power would (in the long run) augur well for the world's Balance of Power.\nThe present Unipolarity that is been experienced would change to Multipolarism with the emergence of other super powers.\nI dont really beleive that China is practising the true tenets of communism. Am sure the "gods" of communism wont be happy with the nature of comunism being practised there!!!\nChina, I believe, is tending more towards capitalism & that would in the long run help the global economy develop faster.

They can have either, especially as both have been dead for decades.\nPerhaps, someone new would help.\nYour first answerrer raises an even bizarrer concept of asking you to speak to an 'older' Chinese person regarding Lao-tse, Confucius et al, and that Chinese person would have to be about 4000 years old. Good luck in finding one that old, but the current communist government does stay within the confines of Confucian guidance on the behaviour of the state. As for Lao, well that's the shaolins job.

Not sure there's a country with a communist govt, thats elected. Communists, once elected do away with elections, and believe in the communist beurocracy.\n\nHowever, there's a state in India - West Bengal, where for the past 30 years, the Communist Party of India has won elections, and have formed the government at the state level. In fact, the last chief minister, Mr Basu, is in the Guinnes Book of World record, as the longest serving democratically elected official in history.

China (listen (help·info); Traditional Chinese: 中國; Simplified Chinese: 中国; Hanyu Pinyin: Zhōngguó; Wade-Giles: Chung-kuo; Tongyong Pinyin: Jhōngguó) is a geographical region in East Asia and Central Asia. With over one-fifth of the world's population, the majority of China exists today as a state known as the People's Republic of China, but it also refers to a long-standing civilization comprising successive states and cultures dating back more than 4,000 years.\n\nWith one of the world's longest periods of mostly uninterrupted civilization and the world's longest continuously used written language system, China's history has been largely characterized by repeated divisions and reunifications amid alternating periods of peace and war, and violent imperial dynastic change. The country's territorial extent expanded outwards from a core area in the North China Plain, and varied according to its changing fortunes to include multiple regions of East, Northeast, and Central Asia. (The term "China proper" is used by some observers and historians to describe the core territory historically home to the majority Han Chinese, as opposed to lands associated later with China such as what is now Xinjiang.) For centuries, Imperial China was also one of the world's most technologically advanced civilizations, and East Asia's dominant cultural influence, with an impact lasting to the present day.\n\nBy the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, however, China's political, economic, and military influence declined relative to the growing regional power of Japan and the influence of Western powers. The imperial system in China ended with the establishment of the Republic of China (ROC) under Sun Yat-sen in 1912; however, the next four decades of ROC rule were marred by warlord control, the Second Sino-Japanese War during which the Empire of Japan occupied large parts of China, and the Chinese Civil War which pitted Chinese Nationalists against the Communist forces.\n\nAfter its victory in the Chinese Civil War, the Communist Party of China under Mao Zedong established the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, forcing the Nationalists to retreat and relocate the ROC government to the island of Taiwan, which it had governed since the end of World War II. Since then, the ROC has maintained administrative control over Taiwan, the Pescadores Islands, several islands off the coast of Fujian province including Kinmen and the Matsu Islands, and some islands in the South China Sea.\n\nHome to one of the world's oldest and most complex civilizations, China boasts a history rich in over 5,000 years of artistic, philosophical, and political advancement. Though regional differences provide a sense of diversity, commonalities in language and religion connect a culture distinguished by such universally significant contributions as Confucianism. Credited with shaping much of Chinese thought, Confucianism was the official philosophy throughout most of Imperial China's history, and mastery of Confucian texts provided the primary criterion for entry into the imperial bureaucracy.\n\nWith the rise of Western economic and military power beginning in the mid-19th century, however, non-Chinese systems of social and political organization gained adherents in China. Some of these would-be reformers totally rejected China's cultural legacy, while others sought to combine the strengths of Chinese and Western cultures. In essence, the history of 20th Century China is one of experimentation to find a new system of social, political, and economic organization that would allow for the reintegration of the nation in the wake of dynastic collapse.\n\nChinese art has varied throughout its ancient history, divided into periods by the ruling dynasties of China and changing technology, as well as influenced by great philosophers, teachers and religion. Early forms of art in China were made from potte

none.\n\nThey have so many seats but they can't be able to control them. \n\nThey can't survive without the communists.

China is a totalitarian Communist State; and they rule with an iron fist.  They execute 8,000 political prisoners a year in China...think about that for a second...8,000 people a year kille for their political beliefs that differ from the government.  \n\nI'm happy to be an American, and hope we can keep it that way forever.

The country is still totally controlled by the Communist Party of China, which is the central government.  Individual provinces have their own governments, controlled by party members.\nBut economically, capitalism has been allowed to flourish, bringing prosperity to the country which communism failed to do.  The first people to benefit from this are the Communists - very ironically, the sworn opponents of capitalism!  Hopefully, however, the centralisation of power and national planning will channel this new money the right way.  The government has just announced it's latest 5-year plan for the rural (agricultural) sector (most Chinese are still down on the farm, and poor).  All agricultural taxes have been abolished and many measures will be taken to help the farmers. One wishes them every success in this worthwhile endeavour.

It is too hard to tell right now, but that does seem to be a good guess at this point.  Their economy is growing at an insane rate and their population makes the US look like a small village.\n\nOne problem for China though is the unity of the people.  From what I have heard, many of the Chinese in rural areas and in certain sections of the country do not feel a strong attachment to the government, and some even want independence.  The repressive government is also not helping matters.  With such a large area and so many people it is very difficult to maintain unity.\n\nIt will be interesting to see what happens, but I hope if the future does belong to China that it will be accompanied by rational and democratic reforms and an overhaul of their human rights policies (or lack of).

yes according to the current rate of growth, it is said that CHINA is abt to become the greatest economic power of the world by 2025. india is expected to be 2nd in the list. however it is going to be difficult for CHINA to maintain the top spot for long, as it is expected that the country would face acute labour shortage in the near future. the main reason for this is the population control policy of the country. on the other habd, india has no such policy in action which is being followed. thus the growth advantage of the future iswith INDIA. now to utilise it, the GOVT. of INDIA needs to plan and construst infrastucture on a larger scale.

In China, we are more likely to observe a transitional process through a broad spectrum of social arrangements. This will likely move slowly enough to prevent the kind of strife we have observed elsewhere. Expect China to remain mostly socialized for a very long time.

Although China still and the most of the outside world refers to the country as a: "communist state" very few people would agree that China fits that definition.  \n\nThe Modern day government in China is more like an Oligopoly in which a group of politically well connected people run a totalitarian government while allowing it's people to engage capitalist market activities.\n\nTrue communist nations that embrace the economic system as much as possible as well as the ideology of big government control are: North Korea and to a lesser extent Cuba.  I say to a lesser extent when refering to Cuba because they have allowed tourism and slight free market reforms in order to prop up their economy.
