China is communist only on the paper. People have to pay for their healthcare. Their properties cost their own money. You don't really have money in communism, neither private property, neither social classes. Communism was actually never really implemented on the national scale. It was always some form of totalitarianism, with one unchallenged ruler surrounded by yes people who benefited from their position incredibly, and the majority plebs. Almost like in the capitalism today, with middle class disappearing, the number of billionaires growing and hardly to find someone who doesn't have some form of debt.

@stultuses yep, giving British water supply to private compaies, free of debt, just to see the money funelling to offshore bank accounts, neglected upgrades of the infrastructure, releqsing raw sewage to the rivers and beaches, even on sunny dys, accruing many £bn debt along (that's the money sent overseas) and now asking the service customers to pay 50% more on their bills and the government to use tax money to fulfill their legal obligations to upgrade the network by 2035, because ... they don't have the money?! There is always money for the socialism of the rich, never for actually the people.

@hello855 That if you have ideologist idiots makingn the plan. Did you know Mao culled almost all sparrows in China, thinking they were eating the grains, reducing the yields? The result was destruction by insect pests the following years that ruined the entire crops, leading to famine.
