That is, without the preceding adjective “Communist”. Many people seem to have forgotten that our main adversary is, and has always been, a Communist country, ruled by a hard-line Dictator, Xi Jinping. Since he came to power in 2012, he has been rolling back the economic reforms of his predecessor Deng Xiaoping, and instituting social policies reminiscent of Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution.

Like the Stalinist purges in 1930s Russia, Xi has carried out a campaign against corruption, causing the fall of dozens of his former comrades. Expat officials of branches of foreign companies working in Communist Chinese cities have been detained and imprisoned for any, or no reason, with no recourse. Xi has emphasized state-owned companies at the expense of private (relatively) firms in many areas of the Communist Chinese economy.

Speaking of the Communist Chinese economy, it has been declining of late, following the near-collapse of the commercial property sector and a number of big developers. And the Communist government has stopped releasing many economic statistics, trying to keep the world from knowing exactly what is taking place. Growth has slowed, and economists who comment on this have been muzzled.

So my suggestion is to stop saying China without the adjective Communist, to emphasize that our greatest adversary in world politics is set upon world domination, and will do whatever is necessary to achieve it.
