Deng Xiaoping once said: doesn’t matter if it’s a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it’s a good cat. That solved the problem of calling it socialism or capitalism. Nowadays they just call it socialism with Chinese characteristics (this terminology is not to be taken lightly, it’s also in the constitution)

Actually people/citizen dont care about democracy or communism, all people/citizen care are prosperity, health, happiness, etc.

A "one party capitalist structure" is as close an approximation of the current political and economic reality of China as I've heard in awhile.

As long as there’s enough food (whether be self-grown or rob from colonies) for everybody, any system works fine. Starving people would crush any system just to get food. Too many examples throughout history.

Unlike Russia, China revamped their economic system first, which has allowed their single party system to continue.

It's because Deng Xiaoping knew that in order for anyone in nature to survive and thrive, one must adapt.

As long as you understand Chinese history, you will know why China chose communism ，not to be invaded again and for prosperity .

As a Chinese educated both in China and in western worlds, the more videos I watch about analysis of China on youtube, the more I understand it's nearly impossible for westerners to understand it. China is a whole different world. Each and every bit of its structure is anti intuitional for western mindsets, cuz there are so many concepts that are not even in western dictionary.
Also Chinese society has extremely high complexity that one would understand naturally only if one was born in China or know complex Chinese language and stayed in China for years.
Before my overseas studies in US Australia France and UK, I didn't realize I knew nothing about my country since I lived in a small town. Now after years of travel around the globe, accepting comments, praises and criticism over China, I decided to come back with pride. My country is soooo wonderful! If I have a next life, I want to be a Chinese again! 😘 And I'm certain that most Chinese people, especially those who had overseas experiences, has the same feeling🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳

Lesson learned: don’t underestimate librarians

How communism is successful: be less communist.

As someone who was born and raised in China, had lived in HK and the US for quite some time before finally returning to China, I must say that China has a much different system than your typical 'communist' countries during the cold War. China has embraced much of the market-based economy doctrine, and a lot of its creativity and productivity today are driven by the needs of the market, and that's how it's economy has been booming in the last few decades. Of course the regime is far from perfect, and a lot of the typical elements of 'human rights' protrayed by the West might be missing here. But the Chinese people care the most about whether their life is constantly improving, one area where this current regime didn't fail its people. Under that premise, we don't care as much whether we have 'freedom of speech' or 'free media' or other things (although they'll be nice to have along the way). In general, people are largely supportive of this imperfect regime, as it has successfully and drastically improved the economy and people's quality of life in the past decades.

Short answer: It's good governance and not ideology that matters

[SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Communist? We're not communist bro, we're Jucheist

[canalsentir]

Hi from Mexico. That was a very good and exacting portrayal of the system within China. thanks. We make creative and other videos on a variety of subjects

[arne]

i think the answer is pretty simple
as long as they have a leader who can keep the countrys economy that strong they will have support from the population but once they get a big economic crisis the government might have some problems to stay in power

[PhilemonChan]

If you look at the Chinese history over thousands of years, it has been ruled by a dynasty and the emperor, where a dynasty and the emperor changed over the years. Till today it is still the same but in the modern setting. This has been the Chinese way of government. Whether it is good or bad, let history decide on it.

[fiddlesticks]

No one in this world knows how to resist more than the Chinese, just count their dynasties.

[iamnormal]

China focused on export economy. USSR didn't.
Plus China grew while not facing open aggression from another great military power (The US) like the USSR did.
