At the end remember China is still a communist nation, though it's making breakthroughs economically , it's still politically communist. And politically they want people to be more in line with their thoughts not ours.

You're like those guys that claim the Nazis were left wing because it was called National Socialism.

Or maybe those guys make that claim because they actually read the party platform espoused by the Nazi's. Look up the "25 Point Program" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Program#The_25-point_Program_of_the_NSDAP

Here are a few which may indicate explicit socialist tendencies:
- "We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens."
- "All citizens must have equal rights and obligations."
- "The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all."
- "We demand the nationalisation of all (previous) associated industries (trusts)"
- "We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries."
- "We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare."
- "We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation"
- "Common national criminals, usurers, profiteers and so forth are to be punished with death" <---- People who charge interest or make profit more than is "socially acceptable"
- "The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education"
- "The State is to care for the elevating national health by protecting the mother and child, by outlawing child-labor, by the encouragement of physical fitness"

Now, to be fair, there are some parts I didn't quote which modern socialists would not advocate. But in practice, socialism and fascism are very similar, though "peace loving" socialists like to pretend otherwise.
