President Xi Jinping pledged to redistribute wealth while turning up the heat on China’s upscale citizens and businesses. So, what keeps Chinese communism going?

CaspianReports says it is because geopolitics, development, national security, stability. BTW ofc China is not Communist. What are your informed arguments?

    The points the video identifies do play a role, but these are definitely not the only factors driving China towards communism. I very much agree with the idea that reducing wealth inequality leads to social stability. I think that a lot of problems we’re seeing in the west currently stem directly from the fact that western countries are run in the interest of the oligarchs.
