China liberalized their economy to compete with Western economies, showing their leaders don’t really believe in communism.

And the US and Europe are moving towards command economies to keep up with China, showing their politicians don’t really believe in liberalism.



Liberalized? You mean "you can come here as long as I can copy/paste your products and push you out of business"?

That's what liberal economies are about, right. :)


No, I mean they did things like privatized state businesses, allowed entrepreneurs to start their own businesses, and created special economic zones.
