China's economic reform can be summarized in one phrase: making a right turn while flashing the left-turn signal.Just off topic once.
Many countries are more socialist than China, in Malaysia, we pay 1 Ringgit (US 25 cents) for visiting a government hospital doctor. A skull drilling surgery plus one week hospitalisation for stroke patient was 800 plus Ringgit (US Dollar 200) in government hospital, as in my mother's case.
We are in many ways far more socialist because the government bear most of the medical costs, and sudsidy for cooking gas, electricity etc.
On the other hand it easily cost tens of thousands US dollars for similar surgery in China because government hospitals are now managed in capitalist manner. To me China economy and every thing as well is capitalist, except the politics and government is still socialist, I won't even call them communist ( as akin to Stalinist).
