Even though China's economy is capitalist, how can it still be considered a communist state?

China was an Empire controlled by dynasties of Emperors from ancient times until 1911, when the monarchy finally collapsed. Between 1911 and 1930 came what was known as the Warlord Period, where rival factions battled for control in an ill-defined civil war, which was encouraged and sponsored by Japan. The late 1920s saw the development of two strong ideologies: the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Party (communists) and the National Liberation Army (the Kuomintang).

From around 1929 these factions were engaged in more or less constant warfare, marking the high point of the Chinese Civil War. Most of China's cities were controlled by the KMT, but the Communists gained popularity in the countryside, and the country continued to plummet into Chaos. Japan, the USSR and Germany all sponsored the KMT to varying degrees, until Japan began a full-scale attack on China in 1937, when the USSR switched its support to the Chinese Red Army.

When Japan joined world war II in 1941 Germany withdrew its support for the KMT, and the KMT and Communists entered into a truce to fight the Japanese. Britain and the USA actively supported the unified Chinese with huge quantities of supplies. In 1945 the USSR declared war on Japan to destroy Japan's main army in China and sweep into Northern China, at the same time as the USA, France and Britain garrisoned Chinese ports.

The KMT and the Chinese Red Army now began fighting again, with the KMT supported by the West and the Reds supported by the USSR; the KMT very nearly defeated the Reds but was riddled with corruption, so much that virtually all the aid given to it by the West went straight to the family of its leader, Chiang Kai-Shek, and the Reds triumphed, forcing the last KMT troops to flee to Taiwan and French Indochina; the People's Republic of China was proclaimed on 1 October 1949.

After defeating the Japanese, Mao Tse Tung in 1945 took over the nationalist regime of Chiang Kai Shek to go on and claim the people's republic of China in Beijing in1949 with Mao as chairman.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
