China = Communist?

Is China really Communist or are they Democratic?  They hold elections, they have parties other than the CCP. It just so happens that the CCP has the most members.

They are both... or bothish
It's
Communism vs. Capitalism

and

Democracy vs. well, any form of government not elected by it's people, usually Dictatorships, Monarchies, Totalitarian and Marshall Regimes, etc.

not

Communism vs. Democracy.  These terms were deliberately confused during the cold war by propagandists.


The most interesting thing to me about China is that though their political freedom is controlled, their personal freedom is, in many ways, greater than that in the west.
